About
The character 尽 corresponds to the traditional form 盡, which depicts a hand holding a brush or cleaning tool over the vessel radical 皿, suggesting the contents have been fully consumed or cleared away. Its original meaning relates to exhaustion, completing a task entirely, or reaching a physical limit with nothing remaining. The simplified form replaces the complex structure with the component 尺, meaning ruler or measure, above two strokes, serving as a shorthand to convey the same ideas of maximum extent, utmost effort, and total completion.
