Japanese shinjitai Simplified from 曾, used in compound characters such as 増 (from 増).

(Jōyō kanji, shinjitai kanji, kyūjitai form 曾)

• Go-on: ぞう (zō)
• Kan-on: そう (sō, Jōyō)
• Kan’yō-on: ぞ (zo, Jōyō ^†)、そ (so)
• Kun: かつて (katsute, 曽て)、すなわち (sunawachi, 曽ち)
• Nanori: かつ (katsu)、つね (tsune)

This character was added to the Jōyō kanji list in 2010 and adopted this simplified form. Before 2010 the unsimplified form 曾 was the 印(いん)刷(さつ)標(ひょう)準(じゅん)字(じ)体(たい) (insatsu hyōjun jitai), and the simplified form 曽 was a 簡(かん)易(い)慣(かん)用(よう)字(じ)体(たい) (kan'i kan'yō jitai).
