Source: Browser Default
U+8B19 "謙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese as a kanji and in Korean as a hanja, primarily meaning "modest," "humble," or "unassuming." It is composed of the radical for "speech" (讠/言) on the left, suggesting spoken attitude, and a phonetic component on the right that relates to "concurrent" or "joining," though its core semantic sense emphasizes personal restraint and respectfulness toward others. This character is central to virtues in East Asian Confucian philosophy, where humility is highly esteemed, and it is commonly used in words like "謙虚" (kyōyo in Japanese, qiānxū in Mandarin), meaning "humility" or "modesty."
