U+8CB4 "貴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
貴
U+8CB4 "貴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean logograph that fundamentally conveys the concept of value, preciousness, or high status, often translating to "expensive," "noble," or "valuable." In modern usage, it appears in terms like the Japanese "o-kane" (money) and Chinese "guì" (expensive or honorable, as in "guìxìng" for asking a surname politely), and its ancient bronze script form depicts hands holding a vessel of earth, symbolizing the preciousness of land or offerings. This character is common in East Asian names, compound words, and cultural contexts, underscoring its enduring semantic core of worth and respect.
