U+8A31 "許" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8A31 "許" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning "to permit," "to allow," or "to promise," and it is also used as a surname. In traditional Chinese and Japanese writing systems, this character appears in contexts ranging from legal permissions to personal commitments, such as in the word "許可" (permission or license). Its structure combines the radical for speech or words (言) on the left, indicating communication, with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its role in expressing verbal agreements or consent. The character is distinct from its simplified Chinese variant "许," though both carry the same core meanings and are widely used in East Asian languages including Korean Hanja.
