U+5F99 "徙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

徙

U+5F99 "徙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to move" or "to change one's residence," often implying a relocation or migration from one place to another. It appears in classical and modern Chinese texts, frequently associated with the act of shifting positions or transferring populations, as seen in historical records of ancient Chinese dynasties that ordered people to move to new territories. The character is composed of the radical "彳," indicating movement or a path, and the phonetic component "徙" itself, contributing to its semantic field of motion and transition. This ideograph thus plays a role in expressing concepts of physical displacement and organizational change within the Chinese writing system.
