Unicode Version 17.0

U+90B9 "邹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that functions as a surname and a place name, primarily used in the Chinese language within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block. Historically, it refers to an ancient state during the Zhou dynasty, located in present-day Shandong province, China, and is also the family name of the prominent Confucian philosopher Mencius (Mengzi), who was born in the state of Zou. In modern usage, it appears in personal names and geographical references, and its structure combines the radical for "town" or "city" (阝 on the right) with the phonetic component "刍," meaning "to mow" or "to graze." The character is encoded in a broad range of text systems for East Asian languages, and its standard pronunciation in Mandarin is "Zōu," with a first tone.
