U+6575 "敵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+6575 "敵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is also used in Japanese kanji, where it primarily means "enemy," "opponent," or "rival," and can also denote "hostility" or "to match" in the sense of confronting a challenge. In Japanese, it is read as "teki" in the on'yomi reading and "kataki" in kun'yomi, and it is classified as a grade 8 kanji in the Japanese educational system. Its structure combines the radical "攵" (action or strike) on the right side with a phonetic component on the left, and it appears in compounds such as "敵対" (tekitai, meaning opposition) and "敵国" (tekikoku, meaning enemy country). This character is distinct from simplified Chinese "敌," though both share the same core meanings and are encoded under the CJK Unified Ideographs block.
