Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8A9E "語" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts, where it represents the concept of language, speech, or word. In Chinese, it is pronounced as "yǔ" in Mandarin and commonly appears in terms like "語言" (language) and "英語" (English language). In Japanese, it is read as "go" or "kata" and is a key component in words such as "言語" (gengo, meaning language) and "日本語" (Nihongo, meaning Japanese language). The character's structure combines the radical for "言" (speech) with the phonetic component "吾" (I/self), symbolizing spoken expression. It is deeply embedded in East Asian writing systems and is a high-frequency character in both literary and everyday contexts.
