U+5EF5 "廵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
廵
U+5EF5 "廵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a variant form of the more common character "巡", both of which are part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideograph block and traditionally mean "to patrol", "to inspect", or "to go around". This character is composed of the radical "辶" (walk) on the left, suggesting motion or travel, and the phonetic component "川" (river) on the right, which hints at its pronunciation. While "巡" is the standard form in modern Chinese and Japanese, "廵" appears in historical texts, some older fonts, and certain East Asian calligraphic traditions, reflecting the natural evolution and variation within the pictographic writing system.
