U+8D3E "贾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8D3E "贾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "merchant," "to sell," or "to do business," and it is particularly associated with the historical figure Jia Yi, a prominent scholar from the Han dynasty. In modern standard Chinese, it is pronounced "jia3" in Mandarin and commonly appears in surnames, such as in the name of the famous poet Jia Dao. The character combines the radical "贝" (shell, symbolizing wealth or trade) with the phonetic component "西," reflecting its commercial connotations. As a component of the broader CJK Unified Ideographs block, "贾" is used in both simplified and traditional Chinese scripts, as well as in Japanese and Korean contexts, often retaining similar meanings related to commerce.
