Han characters: code labels are not translations

These commonly requested Han characters are provided with care; verify meaning and context before permanent use.

Unicode identifies Han characters by code point, often with a generic CJK ideograph label. A useful Chinese meaning depends on language, word formation and context, so standalone samples must not be treated as verified phrases. That amounts to 65 copyable values here — 65 of them one character long, 0 longer.

Names such as Good Fortune (Chinese Context), Dream (Traditional Chinese / Kanji), Friend (Chinese Context), Circled Ideograph Wood appear here, and counting every entry puts Cjk Unified Ideograph-798F (1), Cjk Unified Ideograph-611B (1), Cjk Unified Ideograph-548C (1) at the top. Single-character values span U+328A to U+9F99.
