U+8F9E "辞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

辞

U+8F9E "辞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originally conveys the concepts of words, speech, or taking leave, and it is composed of the radical for "tongue" combined with components suggesting governance or orderly distinction. In modern usage, it appears in terms like "辞书" (dictionary) and "辞职" (to resign from a job), reflecting its dual meanings of linguistic expression and departure. The character is also used in Japanese and Korean, where it carries similar semantic ranges, including formal language for resignations or poetic diction. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it serves as a written symbol shared across East Asian languages, adapting its pronunciation and nuance to each language while maintaining the core idea of structured speech or withdrawal.
