U+505D "偝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

偝

U+505D "偝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily carries the meaning of "to turn one's back on" or "to betray," often implying a sense of going against or forsaking someone or something. It is composed of the radical for "person" (亻) on the left, combined with the phonetic component "背" (bèi), which also means "back" or "to carry on the back," reinforcing the notion of turning away. This character appears in classical and literary Chinese texts, where it is used to describe acts of betrayal or disloyalty, though it is less common in modern everyday usage compared to its simpler synonym "背." The glyph itself is a standard CJK Unified Ideograph, meaning it is shared across the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, with a unified shape that conforms to East Asian typographic conventions.
