Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+516D "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is the Chinese character for the number six, and it is used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block. Pronounced "liù" in Mandarin, "roku" in Japanese, and "yuk" in Korean, this character has origins in ancient oracle bone script, where it originally depicted a simplified representation of a crossroads or hut before evolving into its current numeric meaning. In East Asian cultures, "六" is often considered a lucky number because its pronunciation in some dialects sounds similar to words for smoothness or good fortune, and it appears frequently in idiomatic expressions, historical texts, and modern digital typography across the Unicode standard.
