U+90AA "邪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
邪
U+90AA "邪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes concepts of wickedness, evil, or heresy, often used in philosophical and moral contexts within East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its composition combines the radical for "village" or "town" on the left with a phonetic component on the right, and it appears in classical texts such as the Confucian Analects to describe that which is deviant or unjust. Beyond its literal meaning, the character is frequently employed in modern terms like "邪教" (cult or heresy) and "邪気" (malicious spirit) in Chinese and Japanese respectively, reflecting its enduring association with negative moral and spiritual qualities.
