Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5F79 "役" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (also used in Japanese and Korean) that fundamentally conveys the concept of service, labor, or military duty. Its composition combines the radical for "to go" or "to walk" (彳) with the phonetic component indicating a specific act, and historically it has been associated with forced labor, corvée, or military service under a ruler or state. In modern usage, this character appears in compound words such as 役割 (yakuwari, meaning "role" or "duty") or 戦役 (sen'eki, meaning "military campaign"), retaining a core semantic link to obligation, task, or the act of serving a purpose.
