U+8C48 "豈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8C48 "豈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that serves as an interrogative particle or adverb, often used in Classical Chinese to express rhetorical questions or surprise, with meanings such as "how," "why," or "is it possible that." This ideograph combines the "豆" (bean/container) radical with additional phonetic and semantic components, and it appears in historical texts like Confucian classics and poetry, where it can also function as a noun referring to a type of vessel or music instrument. In modern usage, it is less common in Simplified Chinese, which often replaces it with "岂," but it remains important in Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean hanja contexts for formal or literary writing.
