U+8D48 "赈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8D48 "赈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to relieve" or "to provide aid" in the context of disaster relief or financial assistance, often used in compound terms like 赈灾 (zhen zai, meaning disaster relief) or 赈济 (zhen ji, meaning to aid or succor). It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses characters from East Asian writing systems, and its structure combines the radical for "shell" or "money" (贝, suggesting wealth or currency) with a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation zhen. This character reflects cultural practices of community support and government aid during times of famine or hardship, and it is formally part of the Unicode Standard to enable its representation in digital texts across languages that use traditional or simplified Chinese characters.
