Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+543E "吾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a first-person singular pronoun, meaning "I" or "my" in Classical Chinese and some modern literary contexts. Its composition combines the radical for "mouth" (口) atop a phonetic component, reflecting its ancient origins in written Chinese. Beyond its grammatical role, the character carries cultural significance, appearing in classical texts such as the Analects of Confucius and in Daoist philosophy, where it is used in phrases like "吾丧我" (I lost myself) to explore concepts of self and ego. In modern usage, it is less common in everyday speech but remains prevalent in formal writing, names, and fixed expressions.
