Unicode Version 17.0
魁
U+9B41 "魁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "chief," "leader," or "first" and is often used to denote something outstanding or preeminent, such as in the term "魁首" for a champion or top figure. It is also associated with the concept of the "Big Dipper" in astronomy, specifically referring to the four stars forming the bowl of the constellation, and appears in compounds like "魁梧" to describe a person of tall and sturdy build. This character is composed of the radical "鬼" (ghost or spirit) on the left and "斗" (dipper) on the right, reflecting its historical and cultural connections to celestial symbolism and hierarchical prominence in East Asian languages.
