U+4FDB "俛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

俛

U+4FDB "俛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to bow" or "to lower one's head," often signifying a gesture of respect, submission, or humility, and it also carries the secondary meaning of "to exert oneself" or "to strive." This character is historically notable because it appears interchangeably with the more common character "俯" (fǔ) in classical texts, both conveying the action of looking downward or yielding, and it is sometimes used in compounds like "俛仰" (fǔ yǎng), meaning "to bow and look up," which metaphorically describes the vicissitudes of life or social interactions. In modern usage, while less frequent than its synonym, "俛" remains an essential part of the written lexicon, particularly in literary or historical contexts, preserving its semantic depth from ancient Chinese calligraphy and poetry.
