Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+4E48 "么" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a question particle or suffix in modern Mandarin, often pronounced as "me" or "ma" and used to form interrogative words such as "什么" (shénme, meaning "what") or "这么" (zhème, meaning "so" or "such"). It also appears in traditional and simplified Chinese texts, where it can serve as a phonetic component in compound characters or as a colloquial variant of the older character "麼" (meaning "tiny" or "insignificant" in classical usage). Historically, this ideograph is classified under the radical 丿 (piě, meaning "slash") and contains two strokes, reflecting its simple structure.
