U+9078 "選" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

選

U+9078 "選" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that fundamentally means "to choose," "to select," or "to elect." It is composed of the radical 辵 (walking) on the left, suggesting movement or action, and the phonetic component 巽 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation in various Asian languages. In modern usage, this character appears frequently in words related to elections, selection processes, and picking options, such as in the Chinese term 選擇 (xuǎnzé, meaning "choice") or the Japanese term 選挙 (senkyo, meaning "election"). Its presence in both traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems, as well as in Japanese and Korean hanja, underscores its importance across East Asian cultures in contexts involving decision-making and preferential judgment.
