U+9F62 "齢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
齢
U+9F62 "齢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in Japanese and traditional Chinese writing, where it represents the concept of age or years of life. It is a simplified variant of the more complex character "齡" (U+9F61) and is commonly found in words like "年齢" (nenrei, meaning age in Japanese) or "高齢" (kourei, meaning advanced age). This sinograph belongs to the Kangxi Radical list under radical 齒 (tooth), reflecting its etymological connection to the aging process, as teeth are often associated with biological age in classical Chinese thought.
