U+8D28 "质" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8D28 "质" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (known as "zhì" in Mandarin) that commonly means "quality," "substance," "matter," or "nature," and it belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block. In its traditional form written as "質," it is composed of radical components like "贝" (shell, related to wealth or value) and "斤" (axe), though in simplified Chinese the left radical is "厂" (cliff) and the right is "斤," reflecting its historical use to denote material essence or intrinsic worth. This character appears frequently in modern vocabulary, including terms like "质量" (quality) and "本质" (essence), and is integral to both written and spoken contexts across East Asian languages that use Chinese characters.
