U+5908 "夈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5908 "夈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that appears infrequently in modern texts, primarily found in historical or classical Chinese literature. It is composed of the radical "夊" (meaning to go slowly or to drag the feet) combined with elements that suggest an association with patterns or markings, though its precise meaning and usage remain obscure and are not well documented in common dictionaries. This character is part of the vast CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, which consolidates characters from these languages into a single encoding standard, yet "夈" has no widely recognized pronunciation or definition in contemporary usage, making it a linguistic artifact preserved primarily for scholarly or archival purposes.
