U+5B64 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "orphan" or "solitary." It is composed of the radical 子 (child) on the left, suggesting a young person, and the phonetic component 瓜 (melon) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (gū in Mandarin). Beyond its literal sense of a child without parents, it carries broader connotations of loneliness, isolation, or uniqueness, appearing in words like 孤独 (gūdú, lonely) and 孤岛 (gūdǎo, isolated island). In classical literature, the term 孤 was also used as a humble self-reference by rulers or nobles, reflecting a sense of solitary authority.
