U+5E0C "希" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5E0C "希" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "hope," "rare," or "to hope for." Originating from ancient Chinese script, it is composed of the radical "巾" meaning "cloth" or "turban" and the phonetic component "爻," though its etymology also connects to the idea of sparse or fine threads, which evolved to denote rarity. In modern usage, it appears frequently in words like "希望" (hope or wish) and "稀有" (rare or uncommon), and it is also used in personal names and place names across East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, where it carries similar connotations of aspiration or scarcity.
