U+7AD9 "站" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7AD9 "站" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "station," "stand," or "to stand," functioning as both a noun and a verb in modern Mandarin. As a noun, it commonly refers to a bus stop, train station, or service station, such as in the compound "车站" (chēzhàn, meaning "train station" or "bus stop"). As a verb, it conveys the action of standing upright, as in "站起来" (zhàn qǐlái, meaning "to stand up"). The character is composed of the radical "立" (lì, meaning "to stand") on the left and the phonetic component "占" (zhàn) on the right, reflecting its semantic and phonetic origins in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) writing system. It is used across all three languages, with similar meanings in Japanese (for example, "駅" can be read as "eki" but "站" appears in terms like "駅站" for station platforms) and Korean (where it is used in Hanja compounds like "역" or "정거장" for station).
