U+8D66 "赦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
赦
U+8D66 "赦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concept of "pardon," "forgiveness," or "amnesty," often used in legal, imperial, or religious contexts to signify the formal remission of a punishment or debt. Its structure combines the radical "攵" (action or strike) with components suggesting "red" or "crimson," historically linked to the practice of marking condemned prisoners or decrees in red ink. In classical texts such as the Analects or legal codes, it appears in terms like "赦免" (pardon) or "大赦" (general amnesty), reflecting its role in governance and moral philosophy. This character is also common in Buddhist scriptures, where it denotes divine mercy or absolution from karmic consequences.
