U+5902 "夂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

夂

U+5902 "夂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese radical and character that traditionally means "to go slowly" or "to follow," and it is often associated with the action of moving or walking, though its standalone use in modern Chinese is rare, as it primarily functions as a component within more complex characters, appearing as a radical in the Kangxi system under the same name and stroke count of three. This glyph resembles a stylized foot or leg, conveying a sense of deliberation or backward motion, and is distinct from the similar-looking "夊" radical, which carries a different nuance of slow movement. In Unicode, it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a historical and structural element of written Chinese rather than a frequently used independent word in contemporary texts.
