U+5145 "充" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+5145 "充" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to fill," "to suffice," "to act as," or "full," and it is commonly used in compound words and phrases across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. In Chinese, it appears in terms like "充满" (chōngmǎn, meaning "full of" or "filled with") and "补充" (bǔchōng, meaning "to supplement" or "to replenish"), while in Japanese it is part of words such as "充実" (jūjitsu, meaning "fulfillment" or "substance"). The character is composed of the radical "儿" (legs or human) and the phonetic component "中" (zhōng, meaning "middle" or "center"), giving it a structural basis that suggests something being filled to the middle or center. Historically, it has been used in Classical Chinese texts to convey notions of abundance, sufficiency, or assuming a role, and it remains an integral part of modern East Asian vocabulary for describing both physical fullness and abstract concepts of adequacy or substitution.
