U+5FAC "徬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5FAC "徬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically conveys the meaning of "to walk around aimlessly" or "to wander and be uncertain," often relating to a state of hesitation or irresolution. It is composed of the radical 彳 (chi, meaning "step" or "walk") on the left and the phonetic component 旁 (páng, meaning "side") on the right, which together suggest a sense of moving sideways or straying from a direct path. While not among the most common characters in modern Chinese, it appears in classical texts and literary contexts, especially in the doubled form 徬徨 (pánghuáng), which vividly describes a restless state of wandering or anxiety.
