Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+540D "名" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental East Asian logogram widely used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean to convey the concept of "name," "fame," or "reputation." Historically, its composition combines the radical for "mouth" (口) with the component for "evening" or "dusk" (夕), which some scholars interpret as a visual metaphor for identifying oneself or one's family in the dim light of evening. In modern usage, it appears in words like "名字" (mingzi meaning name) in Mandarin, and "有名" (yuumei meaning famous) in Japanese, highlighting its role in expressing identity, recognition, and social standing across multiple cultures.
