U+57FD "埽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
埽
U+57FD "埽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning to sweep or to clear away, often used in classical or literary contexts. It is composed of the radical for earth or ground (土) on the left side, combined with a phonetic component on the right, and historically appears in texts to describe the act of sweeping floors, removing dust, or metaphorically eliminating obstacles. The character is also found in some compound words and idioms, though it is less common in modern simplified Chinese, where the character 扫 is typically used instead for the same meaning.
