Source: Browser Default
U+8EFD "軽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that represents the concept of lightness, both in terms of physical weight and abstract qualities such as ease or frivolity. It is primarily used in the Japanese writing system as a shinjitai (simplified) form, derived from the traditional Chinese character 輕 (simplified in Chinese as 轻). This character appears in common Japanese vocabulary like 軽い (karui), meaning light or easy, and 軽量 (keiryou), meaning lightweight. Its structure combines the radical for a cart or vehicle (車) with a phonetic component indicating sound, reflecting its historical formation as a phono-semantic compound.
