U+904E "過" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
過
U+904E "過" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, fundamentally meaning "to pass" or "to cross over" as in traversing a physical or conceptual boundary. It is composed of the radical "辵" (chuò), which signifies walking or movement, and the phonetic component "咼" (wō), together conveying the idea of moving beyond a limit. In common usage, it denotes concepts such as excess, error, or having gone too far, as seen in words like "過去" (guòqù, "the past") or "過失" (guòshī, "mistake"), and it carries significant semantic weight across East Asian languages in both literal and abstract contexts.
