U+6B5F "歟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+6B5F "歟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in Classical Chinese and Japanese, where it functions as a sentence-final particle expressing a rhetorical or exclamatory question, similar in meaning to "I wonder" or "is it not?" It is composed of the radical "欠" (meaning "to yawn" or "to lack") on the right side, combined with the phonetic component "與" on the left, which also contributes the basic meaning of "with" or "and." In modern usage, this character is largely obsolete in Simplified Chinese but appears in literary texts, calligraphy, and certain specialized contexts in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems.
