U+501A "倚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
倚
U+501A "倚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to lean on" or "to rely upon," often used in contexts of physical support or dependence. Found in the Kangxi Dictionary under the radical for "person" (亻), it appears in classical and modern Chinese texts, including idioms like 倚老卖老 (yǐ lǎo mài lǎo) meaning "to take advantage of one's seniority." Its semantic range extends to concepts of leverage and backing, such as when describing someone leaning against a wall or depending on another's influence, and it shares etymological connections with characters related to rest and support across East Asian languages.
