U+987B "须" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
须
U+987B "须" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes necessity or obligation, often translated as "must" or "have to," and it also carries the meanings of "beard" or "whiskers" in its traditional form, though the latter sense is more commonly associated with the variant 鬚 in modern usage. As a component in compound words, it appears in terms like 必须 (bìxū, "must") and 胡须 (húxū, "beard"), reflecting its dual role in expressing both imperative necessity and physical facial hair.
