U+9879 "项" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
项
U+9879 "项" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "item," "term," "nape of the neck," or "project," and it functions as a common measure word for classified items such as clauses, tasks, or topics. Its structure combines the radical "页" (page or head) with the phonetic component "工" (work), reflecting its historical connection to the back of the neck, from which its broader meanings of a "section" or "category" derived. This character is widely used in modern Chinese contexts, including official documents, project management, and everyday language, for example in words like "项目" (project) and "条款" (clause).
