U+5938 "夸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5938 "夸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to boast" or "to praise" and is composed of the components "大" (large/big) above and "亏" (deficient/loss) below, though the lower part originally referred to a type of speech or sound in ancient scripts. It is used in modern Chinese in words like "夸张" (exaggeration) and "夸奖" (to compliment), and it also appears in some Japanese kanji usage as the graphical simplification of "誇" in the tōyō kanji list. Historically, the character’s form evolved from seal script representations, where it conveyed the idea of exalting or exaggerating beyond reality, blending notions of size and speech.
