U+5B71 "孱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

孱

U+5B71 "孱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically conveys meanings of weakness, frailty, or timidity, often used in classical texts to describe a person who is physically or morally feeble, as well as to denote a narrow or shallow demeanor. Its structure combines components related to the radical for "child" or "offspring," which can imply a small or undeveloped state, and its usage appears in literary works from ancient China, such as in phrases describing a cowardly or hesitant individual. In modern contexts, the character is less common but retains its association with vulnerability or lack of strength, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard to support the preservation and digital representation of traditional East Asian script.
