Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+4E42 "乂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to govern" or "to regulate," and also carries the subsidiary meanings of "to mow" or "to cut," functioning as an ancient component in other characters. This ideograph is composed of a simple cross-like shape, symbolizing an action of cutting or managing order, and it appears in classical texts and modern Chinese as both a standalone word and a radical known as the "govern stroke" or "cross" radical. Historical usage includes its presence in the name of the mythical emperor Yao, where it was combined with other strokes to form more complex characters, reflecting its foundational role in the development of the CJK writing system.
