U+8CC0 "賀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
賀
U+8CC0 "賀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts, where it fundamentally conveys the meaning of "congratulate," "celebrate," or "greeting." In its structure, it combines the radical "貝" (shell, representing wealth or treasure) with the phonetic component "加" (to add), together suggesting the offering of gifts or well wishes for an auspicious occasion. This character is prevalent in formal and festive contexts, appearing in terms like "祝賀" (shukuga in Japanese, zhùhè in Chinese) for "congratulations" and "賀正" (gashō) as a New Year's greeting.
