U+5F26 "弦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5F26 "弦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "string" or "bowstring," often referring to the taut cord of a musical instrument or a bow, and by extension, it denotes the hypotenuse of a right triangle in geometry or a chord in mathematics. It appears in words like 弦乐器 (string instrument) and 心弦 (heartstrings), and its structure combines the radical 弓 (bow) with the phonetic component 玄 (xuán), reflecting both its physical and abstract metaphorical uses across East Asian languages, including Japanese where it is read as "gen" or "tsuru."
