U+865A "虚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+865A "虚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys notions of emptiness, void, or falsehood, and it is often used in philosophical and literary contexts to describe something that is not real or substantial. In traditional Chinese thought, particularly within Daoism and Buddhism, "虚" represents a state of openness, non-attachment, or the fundamental emptiness of phenomena, as seen in terms like "虚实" (empty and solid) or "虚幻" (illusory). It appears in classical texts such as the Dao De Jing, where it contrasts with fullness or substance, and in modern usage it can also denote adjectives like "hollow," "weak," or "fictitious." As a component of compound words, it retains its core meaning of absence or insubstantiality, making it a versatile character in both ancient and contemporary Chinese writing.
