U+8FD9 "这" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

这

U+8FD9 "这" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental Chinese character meaning "this" or "this one." It is pronounced "zhè" in Mandarin and is used extensively in written Chinese as a demonstrative pronoun, often preceding a noun to indicate something specific in space or time. Originating from historical Chinese script evolution, its structure combines the radical for "walk" (辶) with the phonetic component "文" (wén), though its modern meaning is purely lexical. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, this character is essential for forming phrases like "这里" (here) and "这个" (this one), making it a core element of everyday Chinese writing and digital communication across multiple East Asian languages.
