U+8C01 "谁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8C01 "谁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional and simplified Chinese character that primarily means "who" or "whom," functioning as an interrogative pronoun in Mandarin Chinese. It is composed of the radical 讠 (speech) on the left and the phonetic component 隹 (a short-tailed bird) on the right, reflecting its logographic structure common in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) scripts. In Japanese, this character is used in kanji as "だれ" (dare) with the same meaning, and it may appear in Korean hanja as "수" (su) in historical or literary contexts, though its modern usage is less frequent. The character is encoded in the Unicode standard to ensure consistent representation across digital platforms, preserving its role in conveying inquiries about identity in written East Asian languages.
