U+5F35 "張" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+5F35 "張" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing, where it conveys the core meaning of "to stretch," "to open," or "to spread out," as in drawing a bowstring or expanding something outward. It also carries the derived sense of "a measure word for flat objects like paper or sheets," and appears frequently in surnames and place names across East Asia. Structurally, the character combines the radical 弓 (bow) on the left, indicating archery or tension, with the phonetic component 長 (long) on the right, which suggests both sound and the idea of extension. The character is widely recognized in traditional and simplified Chinese scripts alike, reflecting a stable, centuries old form that preserves its original semantic and phonetic associations.
