U+96E0 "雠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+96E0 "雠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "vengeance," "revenge," or "enmity," and is also used in the context of "to retaliate" or "to oppose." In traditional Chinese, it is often associated with the concept of matching or pairing, as seen in its use in the word "仇雠" meaning "enemy" or "foe." This character is composed of the radical "言" (speech) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its historical evolution in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character set. It is less common in modern simplified Chinese but retains significance in classical texts and literary contexts where notions of conflict or retribution are expressed.
