U+5342 "卂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5342 "卂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to fly swiftly" or "rapid," and it is historically known as a variant of the character 迅 (xùn), which conveys speed or swiftness. Its structure resembles a simplified depiction of a bird or an object in motion, with the radical 十 (ten) combined with a flying-like element. In ancient Chinese texts, including the Shuowen Jiezi, it is defined as denoting the action of a bird swiftly taking flight, and it is used sparingly in classical literature rather than modern standard Chinese. The character’s appearance is distinctive, with a small cross above a curved and angled lower component, making it one of the less common but visually intriguing CJK characters in the Unicode standard.
