U+8BDE "诞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8BDE "诞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "birth" or "to be born," often used in contexts related to birthday celebrations, the concept of nativity, or the beginning of something significant. It is composed of the radical 讠 (speech) on the left and the phonetic component 延 (yan, meaning "to extend" or "prolong") on the right, reflecting its historical usage in classical and modern Chinese to denote the act of coming into existence or the commemoration of such an event. This character appears frequently in terms like 诞生 (dànshēng, "to be born" or "birth") and 圣诞 (shèngdàn, "Christmas," literally "holy birth"), and is an integral part of written Chinese, Japanese (as a kanji), and occasionally Korean Hanja, where it carries similar meanings related to origins and emergence.
