U+8D60 "赠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8D60 "赠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "to give as a gift," "to present," or "to bestow," often implying a formal or generous offering. It is composed of the radical "贝" (shell, money) on the left, hinting at a connection to valuables or wealth, and the phonetic component "曾" on the right, which also carries an extended sense of adding or increasing. Commonly used in modern Chinese in words like "赠品" (gift item) or "赠言" (parting words of advice), it frequently appears in contexts of charity, cultural exchange, and formal recognition, such as in poetry dedications or on plaques. The character belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is encoded for use across multiple languages that share Chinese characters, including Japanese and Korean.
