Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+4F55 "何" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a standard logographic character used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it primarily functions as an interrogative pronoun meaning "what," "why," or "how," depending on context. In Japanese, it can be read as "nani" or "nan" in compounds, while in Chinese its pinyin is "hé." The character is composed of the radical "亻" (person) on the left and "可" (able) on the right, visually suggesting a person asking a question. Beyond its literal meaning, "何" appears in many common phrases and compounds across East Asian languages, such as the Japanese word "何故" (naze, meaning "why") or the Chinese term "如何" (rúhé, meaning "how").
