U+4FAF "侯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "marquis" or "nobleman," representing a high-ranking feudal title in ancient East Asian societies, particularly in China, Japan, and Korea. It is composed of the radical "亻" (person) and the phonetic component "侯," and its historical usage often appears in classical texts to denote a lord or a ruler of a small territory, as well as in compound words and surnames. In modern contexts, it retains this noble connotation while also being used in names and formal writing across CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages.
