長
U+9577 "長" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the concept of length, long duration, or seniority, and is pronounced "cháng" in Mandarin or "nagai" in Japanese. It originally depicted a person with long hair or flowing robes, symbolizing extension in time or space, and serves as a fundamental component in numerous compound words across East Asian languages. In modern usage, it appears in terms for "growth" (成長), "principal" (校長), and "continuous" (長期), maintaining its core meaning of elongation or leadership while also functioning as a radical in other complex characters.
