U+88DC "補" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+88DC "補" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji in Japanese, hanja in Korean) that fundamentally means "to supplement," "to make up for," "to mend," or "to repair." Its structure combines the radical for "clothing" (衤) on the left, suggesting fabric or covering, with the phonetic component on the right, leading to meanings related to patching garments or correcting deficiencies. Beyond its literal use for mending clothes, the character appears in common compounds like "補充" (bǔchōng, meaning to replenish or add) and "補習" (bǔxí, meaning to take extra lessons or tutoring). This ideograph thus conveys a sense of making something whole or better by adding what is missing, whether material, knowledge, or function.
