Unicode Version 17.0

侏

U+4F8F "侏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a dwarf or a pygmy, often used in classical texts to denote a person of short stature. In modern Chinese, it appears in terms like "侏儒" (zhūrú), which translates to a dwarf or midget, and can also describe something stunted or miniature. The character is composed of the radical "亻" (person) on the left, indicating its relation to people, and the phonetic component "朱" (zhū) on the right, providing a clue to its pronunciation. Historically, "侏" has been used in literary contexts, such as in descriptions of court jesters or mythical beings, and it maintains its relevance in contemporary language for denoting physical short stature or figuratively implying something diminished.
