U+8D64 "赤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

赤

U+8D64 "赤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in several East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it primarily means "red." In ancient Chinese cosmology, the character carries deeper significance as it represents the element of fire and the southern direction, also symbolizing sincerity or bareness in certain contexts. Its form originates from a pictograph combining a person (大) and fire (火), depicting someone standing in flames and conveying the idea of a reddish hue or scorching. Commonly appearing in words for red objects, political terms like "Red Army," and cultural concepts such as "barefoot" in East Asian languages, this character remains a fundamental and visually striking component of the CJK script tradition.
