U+5F73 "彳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
彳
U+5F73 "彳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese radical and character known as the "step" radical, often appearing as a left-side component in compound characters, where it signifies movement or walking, as seen in words like 行 (to go) and 很 (very). It originated as a pictographic representation of a half step or crossroads, and its usage traces back to ancient Chinese script, where it functioned as a key element in characters related to travel, paths, or actions of the feet. In modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean written systems, 彳 retains its role as a fundamental building block, carrying the connotation of forward motion or progression within the structure of more complex ideographs.
