U+56F3 "図" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+56F3 "図" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character originally derived from a traditional Chinese script, commonly used in modern Japanese as the kanji for "diagram," "plan," "map," or "figure." It is a simplified variant of the traditional Chinese character "圖" (U+5716), bearing the same core meaning of a drawn or printed representation of a concept or area. In Japanese, it appears frequently in words like "図書館" (library) and "地図" (map), and while it is recognized in Chinese contexts as a secondary form, its primary usage is in the Japanese writing system. The character is composed of the enclosure radical "囗" (enclosure) enclosing the element "冬" (winter), though its construction is symbolic rather than directly related to that season. Overall, "図" serves an essential role in East Asian typography and digital communication as a compact representation of visual and spatial information.
