U+8CA7 "貧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

貧

U+8CA7 "貧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character meaning "poor" or "poverty." Composed of the radical for "shell" or "money" (貝) on top and "divide" (分) below, it visually suggests the division or splitting of wealth, representing a state of financial scarcity or lack. This character is used across multiple East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it conveys notions of impoverishment, deficiency, or humility. In a cultural context, it often appears in idioms and proverbs discussing economic hardship or moral simplicity, standing in contrast to its antonym "富" (wealth or riches). Its Unicode designation ensures consistent digital representation across systems, preserving its historical and linguistic significance in modern text processing.
