U+7ADF "竟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7ADF "竟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "finally," "actually," or "unexpectedly," and it also conveys the sense of "to finish" or "throughout." This ideograph, used in both modern and classical Chinese, appears in common terms like "毕竟" (after all) and "竟然" (unexpectedly), with its components including the top part "音" (sound or tone) and a bottom component that originally depicted a person, symbolizing the completion of a phrase or event. In Japanese kanji, it carries similar meanings of "end" or "finally," and in Korean hanja, it retains the notion of conclusion or unexpected outcome. As a standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character, it is encoded for digital text across multiple East Asian languages and is widely used in literature, everyday writing, and formal contexts to express finality or surprise.
