U+67D4 "柔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+67D4 "柔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of softness, gentleness, flexibility, and tenderness, both in physical and emotional contexts. Composed of the radical for tree or wood (木) on top and the character for fur or hair (毛) beneath, its structure metaphorically suggests a soft, pliable nature, such as the texture of a young tree branch or supple fur. In Chinese philosophy and culture, "柔" is often associated with the concept of yielding strength and adaptability, as seen in Daoist principles where softness overcomes hardness, and it is a key element in terms like "溫柔" (wēnróu), meaning gentle or tender. This character is widely used in East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, with similar connotations of mildness and suppleness.
