U+590B "夋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+590B "夋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically carries meanings related to a form of walking or moving with a slow, deliberate gait, and it has also been used in classical texts to denote something akin to "to retreat" or "to move cautiously." This character is composed of the radical "夂" (to go slowly or to follow) atop "允" (sincere, allowing), reflecting its etymological roots in early Chinese scripts such as the Seal Script. It is rarely used in modern standard Mandarin but can appear in classical literature, proper names, or specialized contexts, where its pronunciation is often given as "jùn" or "qūn" depending on the reading.
