Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5E42 "幂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "power" or "exponent" in mathematics, often denoting the operation of raising a number to a given power, as well as conveying the broader sense of "cover" or "cloth" in classical contexts. It is composed of the radical "冖" (a covering or roof) and other components, reflecting its historical usage to describe a cloth or covering that conceals something, later abstracted to the mathematical concept of an operation that multiplies a number by itself a specified number of times. This character is commonly used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems in technical and educational materials related to algebra and arithmetic.
