U+9591 "閑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9591 "閑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings of leisure, idleness, or being at rest, and it also carries connotations of being unoccupied or free from busyness. Historically, it is composed of the radical for "gate" or "door" (門) and the character for "wood" or "tree" (木), suggesting the visual image of a wooden barrier across a gate to create a space of seclusion or quiet. In traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean usage, the character appears in contexts ranging from poetry and philosophy, where it describes a peaceful state of mind, to more practical terms like "閒暇" (leisure time) or "閑散" (idle and scattered). Its structure and meaning reflect a cultural appreciation for tranquility and withdrawal from worldly affairs, making it a nuanced symbol in East Asian written traditions.
