U+5915 "夕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5915 "夕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originally pictographically represents the moon, but over time it has come to specifically signify the evening or sunset, often appearing in compounds related to nightfall, such as "夕陽" meaning "setting sun" or "夕食" meaning "evening meal." In modern usage, this character is a common radical found in other kanji and hanzi, contributing its nuance of "evening" to characters like "外" (outside) and "名" (name), which suggests a historical connection to nighttime or dusk activities. Its stroke order consists of just three strokes, making it one of the simpler yet semantically rich characters in the CJK unified ideograph set.
