U+4FC3 "促" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

促

U+4FC3 "促" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to urgency, haste, or prompting, often used in words like "促进" meaning to promote or accelerate, and "催促" meaning to urge or press someone to act. It can also denote narrowness or closeness, as in the term "局促" which describes cramped or confined spaces or a feeling of unease. This character is composed of the radical 人 (person) on the left and the phonetic component 足 (foot) on the right, reflecting its original sense of hurrying steps. In classical texts, it appears in contexts such as urging a friend to make a decision or describing a tight schedule, and it remains a common element in modern Chinese vocabulary for expressing encouragement or impatience.
