U+723E "爾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that carries the meanings of "you," "thus," or "that," and historically also functioned as a second-person pronoun in classical Chinese, equivalent to "you" or "your." It is composed of the radical 爻 (meaning "lines" or "trigram") and other elements, reflecting its ancient usage in philosophical and literary texts such as the Confucian classics. In modern usage, it appears in compound words like 爾後 (meaning "thereafter" or "later") and is distinguished from its simplified counterpart "尔" used in simplified Chinese script.
