U+5121 "儡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5121 "儡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a puppet or marionette, often used figuratively to describe someone who is manipulated or controlled by others, much like a puppet on strings. In classical Chinese texts, it appears in compounds such as "傀儡", which directly means "puppet", and by extension signifies a figurehead or a person acting under external influence without real autonomy. The character is composed of the radical for "person" (亻) combined with the phonetic component "累", tying its meaning to ideas of being burdened or entangled. Today, it is most commonly encountered in formal or literary contexts, particularly in political commentary or metaphorical speech to criticize lack of independent agency.
