U+5916 "外" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "outside," "external," or "foreign," and it is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Composed of the radical for "evening" or "night" combined with another element, it visually suggests something beyond a boundary or limit. This character appears in everyday vocabulary, such as 外面 (wàimiàn) meaning "outside," and 外国 (wàiguó) meaning "foreign country," and it also forms part of compound words in technical and historical contexts, like 外戚 (wàiqī) in historical terms for the emperor's maternal relatives.
