U+8F83 "较" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
较
U+8F83 "较" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb or adverb meaning "to compare," "to contrast," or "relatively" in Modern Standard Chinese. It is composed of the radical 车 (vehicle) on the left, suggesting action or movement, and the phonetic component 爻 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (jiào in Mandarin). This character appears frequently in compound words such as 比较 (bǐjiào, meaning "comparison" or "quite") and 较量 (jiàoliàng, meaning "to have a contest" or "to measure strength"), playing a key role in expressing comparison, degree, or confrontation across both formal and colloquial contexts in written and spoken Chinese.
