U+5F83 "徃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
徃
U+5F83 "徃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily serves as a variant form of the standard character "往" (wǎng), which means "to go" or "toward." Historically used in classical and some traditional Chinese texts, as well as in Japanese (where it is considered a kyūjitai or old form), this character retains the same core meaning related to movement or direction. Its structure combines the radical for "step" or "go" (彳) with a phonetic component, reflecting its etymological roots. While less common in modern simplified Chinese, it appears in historical documents, calligraphy, and certain East Asian cultural contexts where older character forms are preserved.
