U+5715 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+5715 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a specialized Chinese character that represents the concept of a "library," as it is a contracted form combining elements of the characters for "book" (書) within a surrounding enclosure (囗). Originally coined in the early 20th century by Chinese educator and librarian Du Dingyou, it was designed to streamline the writing of the term for library, traditionally written as 圖書館. Although the character is recognized in Unicode and appears in some library contexts, it remains relatively obscure in general use, as the full three-character term is still standard in modern Chinese writing.
