U+8F15 "輕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
輕
U+8F15 "輕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "light" in weight, degree, or importance, and is also used in East Asian languages such as Japanese and Korean. In its traditional form, it combines the radical for "cart" or "vehicle" (車) on the left with the phonetic component "巠" on the right, reflecting its historical association with lightness in movement or load. This character appears in common words like 年輕 (nianqing, meaning "young" literally "light year") and 輕量 (qingliang, meaning "lightweight"), and it carries a nuanced sense of gentleness or triviality in various contexts across literature and daily speech.
