U+590E "夎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+590E "夎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character composed of the radical "夂" (go, to walk slowly) over the character "土" (earth, soil), though its structure and meaning are not well documented in modern standard usage. This character appears in historical or classical Chinese texts, where it is thought to denote an action similar to "to crouch" or "to bow," and it may be associated with the concept of bending over or submitting, particularly in relation to the ground. Its usage is extremely limited today, and it is not included in commonly used character sets for modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing, making it primarily of interest to scholars of ancient script or Unicode enthusiasts studying obscure glyphs.
