U+8F03 "較" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
較
U+8F03 "較" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to compare" or "to contrast," and by extension can denote "relatively" or "rather" when used as an adverb. It belongs to the set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs, which means it is used across multiple East Asian languages with similar meanings, such as in Japanese where it appears as "kaku" or "hikaku" (comparison). The character is formed with the radical for a cart or vehicle on the left side, and the phonetic component "jiao" on the right, reflecting its historical linkage to the idea of measuring or matching against a standard, such as in the context of comparing vehicles in ancient Chinese usage.
