U+5077 "偷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5077 "偷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to steal" or "to pilfer" and is used in both traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems. It is composed of the radical 亻 (person) on the left, suggesting a human element, and the phonetic component 俞 on the right, which gives a clue to its pronunciation as "tōu" in Mandarin. Beyond its literal meaning, the character also carries extended senses such as "to be dishonest," "to evade," or "to slack off," and appears in common words like 小偷 (thief) and 偷懒 (to be lazy or cut corners). This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block, reflecting its shared use across multiple East Asian languages where it retains similar meanings and usages.
