U+767E "百" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+767E "百" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a widely used Chinese ideograph meaning "hundred" or "one hundred," functioning as both a cardinal number and a foundational component in compound words and phrases. It originates from ancient Chinese scripts, often visually representing the number one hundred by combining the numeral "one" with an abstract symbol for "white" or "clear," though its modern form is standardized in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character set. In usage, "百" appears in terms like "百分之百" meaning "one hundred percent," in historical references such as "百越" for ancient southern tribes, and in everyday contexts like "百年" for "century." Its role extends beyond counting, serving in idiomatic expressions to denote abundance or completeness, such as in "百科" for "encyclopedia."
