U+9583 "閃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+9583 "閃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to flash," "to dodge," or "to avoid," and it also conveys the sense of a sudden, brief burst of light or movement. Composed of the radical for "door" (門) on the outside and the component for "man" (人 or 儿) on the inside, its visual structure suggests a person slipping through a doorway, which metaphorically extends to the concepts of evasion or quick, fleeting action. In modern usage, this character appears in common words such as "閃電" (shǎndiàn, meaning "lightning") and "閃耀" (shǎnyào, meaning "to glitter" or "to shine"), and it is widely used across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, each with slightly different pronunciations and applications.
