U+8FDC "远" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8FDC "远" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "far" or "distant" in terms of physical distance or time, and it is composed of the radical for "movement" or "walk" on the left and a phonetic component on the right that suggests the sound "yuan." This character is used extensively in modern and classical Chinese writing, appearing in common words such as "远方" (faraway place) and "长远" (long-term). It belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, and its traditional form is written as "遠," though "远" is the simplified version standardized in mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia. The character's etymology traces back to ancient seal script, where it originally conveyed the idea of traveling a great distance, reflecting its enduring role in expressing spatial and temporal remoteness across East Asian languages.
