Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5BE1 "寡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concept of "few," "scarce," or "widowed," and is deeply embedded in classical and modern East Asian languages. It often appears in compound words such as "寡人" (guǎrén), the self-deprecating term used by ancient Chinese rulers meaning "the solitary one," as well as "寡婦" (guǎfù) for "widow." The character is composed of the radical for "roof" or "house" (宀) and other components, symbolizing a state of being alone or lacking companionship. Beyond its lexical role, "寡" carries cultural weight in Confucian and Daoist texts, where it is used to discuss themes of simplicity, moderation, and moral integrity.
