Source: Browser Default
U+58A8 "墨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that signifies "ink" or "ink stick," traditionally used in East Asian calligraphy and painting. It is composed of the radical for "black" (黑) and the component for "earth" or "soil" (土), reflecting how ink was historically made from soot mixed with glue and pressed into solid sticks. Beyond its literal meaning, "墨" carries cultural weight as a symbol of scholarship and artistry, often appearing in terms like "mo" in Chinese, "sumi" in Japanese, and "meok" in Korean, all referring to the essential medium for brushwork and written expression.
