U+4FA0 "侠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

侠

U+4FA0 "侠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to a chivalrous, heroic, or gallant person, often associated with the concept of the "knight-errant" or "swordsman" in East Asian literature and culture. It combines the radical "人" (person) on the left with the component "夹" (to press on both sides or carry under the arm), though its core meaning centers on a sense of righteous bravery and helping the weak, famously embodied in the archetype of the "xia" (侠) in Chinese martial arts stories and historical narratives.
