Unicode Version 17.0

韙

U+97D9 "韙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "right" or "correct" and is used in Classical Chinese texts, often carrying the connotation of being proper or in accordance with principle. It is composed of the radical "韋" (leather) and the phonetic component "是" (shi, meaning "is" or "yes"), reflecting its structure as a pictophonetic character. While not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, it appears in historical writings and documents, sometimes to denote moral righteousness or correctness of judgment. The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard, representing a part of the shared East Asian script heritage that includes Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.
