空白

Blank refers to an empty or unmarked area, often used to describe a space that has not been filled or occupied. It can also imply a lack of content or information.

The character 空 (kōng) means 'empty' or 'space,' while 白 (bái) means 'white' or 'clear.' Together, they form a term that literally translates to 'white space' but is commonly used to mean 'blank' in both physical and metaphorical contexts.

Blank is widely used in writing, design, and daily conversation. In formal settings, it may refer to an unfilled form or document. In casual use, it can describe a gap in understanding or a moment of silence.
