U+5C24 "尤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
尤
U+5C24 "尤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries the fundamental meanings of "especially," "particularly," or "outstanding," and it is also used to indicate a fault or mistake in certain contexts. This character is composed of a radical resembling a small crouching figure and an additional stroke, and it functions in both classical and modern Chinese as an adverb to emphasize something exceptional, as seen in phrases like 尤其 meaning "especially." In historical Chinese philosophy and literature, "尤" can convey a sense of blame or resentment, as in the idiom 怨天尤人 (to blame heaven and others), making it a versatile character that bridges descriptive emphasis and moral expression.
