U+4E56 "乖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
乖
U+4E56 "乖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that generally conveys the meanings of well behaved, docile, clever, or obedient, often used to describe a child who follows instructions or a person who is compliant. It can also imply a sense of perverseness or oddity in certain classical contexts, though the connotation of obedience is far more common in modern usage. The character is composed of the radical for "丿" (a left falling stroke) alongside other components, and it appears across various East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, albeit with some differences in pronunciation and nuance. In Chinese, it is pronounced guāi and is frequently employed in everyday language to praise young children or pets.
