U+516C "公" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+516C "公" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a foundational Chinese character commonly meaning "public," "official," "fair," or "male," and it appears extensively in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its visual structure combines the radical for "eight" above a component resembling a "private" enclosure, which scholars often interpret as the act of making private matters open or shared, thus embodying the concept of communal or just governance. In modern usage, it forms the core of terms like "gōngsī" (company) and "gōngyuán" (park), and it holds historical significance as a mark of nobility in titles such as "Duke" or "Lord," particularly in ancient Chinese honorifics.
