U+5C07 "將" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "will," "shall," or "to take" and is used in Classical and Modern Chinese as an auxiliary verb indicating a future action or intention. It also carries the meanings of "to lead" or "a general" in military contexts, reflecting its historical use in compound words like "將軍" (jiāngjūn) for a military commander. In Japanese, it corresponds to the shō of shōgun and appears in the name of the popular Chinese board game "將棋" (shōgi), while in Korean it is used in terms like "장군" (janggun) for a general. This character is composed of the radical for meat or moon (月) and the component for a small table or command (爿), visually hinting at its original sense of directing or commanding.
