U+56DB "四" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+56DB "四" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a fundamental logogram representing the number four in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems. It is composed of a square enclosure with two interior strokes, symbolizing a fourfold division or a cross within a boundary. Historically derived from ancient oracle bone script, where it originally depicted four lines, its meaning extends to concepts of all four directions, completeness, and even death in some contexts due to its homophony with the word for death in Chinese. This character is widely used in calendar dates, mathematics, and cultural expressions across East Asia.
