U+5932 "夲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5932 "夲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that has two primary meanings in classical and modern contexts. Historically, it is an alternate or variant form of the character "本" (běn), which commonly means "root," "origin," or "foundation," and it appears in some ancient texts with that sense. Additionally, "夲" can represent the word "tāo," meaning to advance or move forward, as found in the Han dynasty dictionary "Shuowen Jiezi," which defines it as "to advance rapidly" (进趣也). In modern usage, it is far less common than its counterpart and is primarily encountered in specialized linguistic or historical studies rather than in everyday Chinese writing.
