U+8FE6 "迦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
迦
U+8FE6 "迦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that appears in multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and is classified as a CJK unified ideograph. It is commonly used as a phonetic component in transliterations, most notably in the transcription of Buddhist terms such as "Jia" or "Ka" in names like Śākyamuni (the historical Buddha), where it forms part of "Shijiamouni" in Chinese. The character is also used in Japanese for the syllable "ka" in names and place names, such as in "Kasuga." Its structure combines the radical for "walk" or "movement" with a phonetic element, and its phonetic usage reflects its role in rendering foreign sounds into Chinese characters.
