U+8BC1 "证" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8BC1 "证" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to prove," "evidence," or "certificate." It is a simplified form of the traditional character "證" and is widely used in modern Mandarin Chinese, appearing in words such as "证明" (zhèngmíng, meaning proof or certification) and "身份证" (shēnfènzhèng, meaning identity card). In its structure, the character combines the radical "讠" (speech or words) on the left, which suggests communication or language, with the component "正" (zhèng, meaning correct or upright) on the right, together conveying the idea of verifying truth or correctness through spoken or written means. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode standard, which includes characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
