U+6B53 "歓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6B53 "歓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified contexts, though it is more commonly associated with Japanese kanji as a variant of the standard character "歡" or "欢," which means joy, delight, or happiness. Its structure combines the radical for "lack" or "yawn" on the left with a component related to a bird or an open mouth on the right, conveying the idea of exuberance or cheerful expression. In modern Japanese, "歓" frequently appears in words like "歓迎" (kangei, meaning welcome) and "歓喜" (kanki, meaning great joy). This ideograph thus serves as a concise symbol for positive emotions and warm reception across East Asian written languages.
