U+79AA "禪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram that represents a profound and multifaceted concept primarily rooted in East Asian philosophy and religion. It is the Chinese and Japanese character for "Zen," the school of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasizes meditation and intuitive insight over scriptural study. Historically, "禪" also denotes the ancient Chinese practice of offering sacrifices to Heaven or Earth, as well as a state of meditative absorption. Its traditional form evokes the idea of a spiritual or mental "transfer" or "abandonment," linking the character to both the quietude of meditation and the act of relinquishing worldly attachments.
