U+9762 "面" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

面

U+9762 "面" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a standard Chinese character with multiple meanings, primarily representing the concept of "face" or "surface." In everyday usage, it can denote the front or outer aspect of an object, such as in the phrase "桌面" (tabletop) or "地面" (ground), as well as the physical face of a person, as in "面对" (to face). Additionally, it is a common noun for wheat-based noodles, like "拉面" (pulled noodles) or "泡面" (instant noodles), making it a versatile and frequently encountered character in both written and spoken Chinese contexts. Its structure is a combination of the radical for "mouth" (囗) enclosing elements suggesting a "face" or "side," reflecting its rich semantic range across languages such as Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese.
