Unicode Version 17.0
韩
U+97E9 "韩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the surname Han or refers to the state of Han in ancient China, as well as the country of South Korea in modern contexts. It is composed of the radical "韦" (leather) on the left and the phonetic component "朝" (pronounced zhao/chao) on the right, though the right side serves primarily as a sound indicator rather than a direct meaning carrier. This character is widely used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, with slight variations in stroke order and pronunciation across languages, and it often appears in historical texts referencing the Warring States period or in contemporary media related to Korean culture.
