U+5DF2 "已" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+5DF2 "已" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as an adverb meaning "already" in both classical and modern written Chinese, often indicating that an action has been completed or a state has been reached. It is also used to form other common words, such as "已经" (yijing, meaning "already") and "而已" (eryi, meaning "that's all" or "only"). Graphically, it consists of three strokes and is distinct from the similar-looking character "己" (ji), which means "self," and "巳" (si), the sixth Earthly Branch. As a core component in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, it appears across multiple East Asian writing systems, where it retains its meaning and pronunciation with only slight variations.
