U+9AD8 "高" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
高
U+9AD8 "高" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logographic character used across multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It represents the concept of height, tallness, or elevation, and is often used in words like "high" or "above." In Chinese, it appears in common terms such as "高兴" (gāoxìng, meaning happy) and "高中" (gāozhōng, meaning high school), while in Japanese it is read as "たかい" (takai) or "こう" (kō) in compounds. The character is composed of a radical and strokes that symbolically depict a tall structure, and its earliest forms can be traced back to ancient oracle bone script, where it originally pictured a raised platform or tower.
