Unicode Version 17.0
邮
U+90AE "邮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "post" or "mail," and it is commonly used in modern Chinese to form words related to postal services, such as "邮局" (post office) and "邮票" (postage stamp). This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, and its structure combines the radical "阝" (meaning "city" or "place") with the phonetic component "由" (meaning "cause" or "reason"), giving it both semantic and phonetic cues in its traditional usage.
