U+4E9C "亜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+4E9C "亜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Japanese shinjitai (simplified) variant of the traditional Chinese character 亞, and it is primarily used in Japanese and, to a lesser extent, Korean writing. Its meaning centers on the concept of "Asia" where it serves as a foundational component in words like 亜細亜 (Ajia, the Japanese name for Asia), and it also conveys ideas of rank, inferiority, or "second" as seen in terms such as 亜流 (aryū, "a follower" or "subschool") or 亜熱帯 (anettai, "subtropics"). The character is composed of the radical 二 (two, indicating "second" or "next"), and in East Asian typography, it appears as a compact, symmetrical shape that differs notably from its older, more complex traditional form.
