U+4F98 "侘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
侘
U+4F98 "侘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily appears in the compound word "侘寂" (chà jì), which describes the Japanese aesthetic concept of wabi-sabi, emphasizing beauty found in imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity. In classical Chinese, "侘" alone can denote a state of disappointment or frustration, often associated with a sense of desolation or neglect. The character is composed of the radical "亻" meaning person, combined with "宅" meaning residence, subtly conveying the idea of a person residing in a humble or isolated setting. Its usage in modern language is rare outside of aesthetic or literary contexts, where it evokes a poignant appreciation for the rustic and the transient.
