U+9664 "除" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

除

U+9664 "除" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to remove", "to eliminate", "to divide", or "to get rid of", and it is commonly used in mathematical contexts to denote division, as well as in everyday language for concepts like excluding something or an official appointment. Its structure consists of the radical "阝" (meaning a mound or hill) on the left, which often relates to terrain or elevation, combined with the phonetic component "余" (meaning surplus or remainder), contributing to its pronunciation and abstract association with subtraction or separation. In traditional Chinese culture, "除" also carries the specific meaning of New Year's Eve, as seen in the term "除夕", symbolizing the removal of the old year to welcome the new.
