Unicode Version 17.0
U+8CFC "購" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that represents the concept of purchasing or buying, and it is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

This character appears in everyday vocabulary, such as in the Chinese word 購買 (gòumǎi, meaning "to purchase") and the Japanese word 購入 (kounyū, also meaning "purchase"), and it is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses a vast set of shared Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters used for written communication across these cultures.
