U+8D22 "财" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8D22 "财" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "wealth," "money," or "property," and is commonly used in financial contexts and everyday language, such as in the word "财富" (cáifù) for fortune or riches. Its structure combines the radical "贝" (shell), historically associated with currency and valuable goods, with the phonetic component "才" (cái), which provides a clue to its pronunciation. In Chinese culture, this character holds significant auspicious symbolism, often appearing in greetings for prosperity like "恭喜发财" (gōngxǐ fācái), meaning "May you be happy and prosperous." It is deeply rooted in historical commerce and is widely recognized across East Asian writing systems, including Japanese and Korean, where it similarly signifies financial assets.
