Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+7948 "祈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to pray" or "to entreat," representing a request or supplication directed toward a higher power or spiritual force. It is composed of the radical "示" (meaning "altar" or "spirit") on the left, indicating a connection to religious or ritual contexts, and "斤" (meaning "axe") on the right, which contributes to its phonetic pronunciation in Mandarin as "qí." This character appears frequently in classical and modern texts, often within terms such as "祈禱" (prayer) or "祈求" (to plead for something), and it conveys a sense of earnest hope or reverence in East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
