U+6606 "昆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+6606 "昆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "descendant" or "elder brother" and is often used in compound words related to family, lineage, or groups, such as "昆虫" meaning "insect" or "昆曲" referring to the traditional Kunqu opera. Its form originates from ancient oracle bone script, where it depicted the sun (日) above the feet of a person (比), symbolizing the concept of people under the sun or a lineage of brothers working together. In modern usage, it retains these semantic roots while also appearing in personal names, place names, and scientific terminology in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, making it a versatile and historically rich component of East Asian typography.
