U+4FE0 "俠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
俠
U+4FE0 "俠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "knight errant," "chivalrous person," or "heroic warrior," often associated with the concept of martial valor and righteous banditry in East Asian culture. It is composed of the radical ⺅ (person) on the left and the phonetic component 夾 (jia, meaning "to press from both sides" or "to flank") on the right, suggesting a person who stands bravely between opposing forces or who defends the weak. In modern Chinese, Japanese (where it is used as the kanji 侠, pronounced kyou or kyō), and Korean (where it is rendered as 협, hyeop), this character evokes themes of justice, selflessness, and the romanticized wandering hero common in wuxia literature and folklore.
