U+5F9E "從" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
從
U+5F9E "從" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to follow," "to comply with," or "from," and it is also used as a surname. Its simplified counterpart is "从," and in classical Chinese texts, it often conveys the sense of coming from a source or acting in accordance with someone or something. This character is constructed with the radical "彳" (to walk) combined with "从" (the simplified form itself), emphasizing the idea of following along a path or obeying a directive. In modern usage, it appears frequently in formal and literary contexts, such as in the phrase "從前" meaning "in the past" or "formerly."
