Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8003 "考" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries rich historical and linguistic meaning, primarily denoting the concepts of "to examine," "to test," or "to consider," as well as serving as a term for "deceased father" in traditional contexts. It is a common character in East Asian languages, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it appears in words related to examinations, research, and filial piety, such as "考试" (exam) or "思考" (to think). Structurally, the character combines the radical for "old" (老) with a phonetic component, reflecting its ancient usage in texts like the Classic of Filial Piety and its evolution to represent both intellectual scrutiny and ancestral reverence.
