U+5FAD "徭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
徭
U+5FAD "徭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally pronounced as "yáo" in Mandarin, and it primarily refers to forced labor or corvée service imposed by ancient Chinese authorities on common people. Historically, this ideograph appears in classical texts to describe the compulsory, often unpaid work that peasants were required to perform for state projects, such as constructing roads, canals, or palaces. In modern usage, the character retains its association with burdensome or compulsory tasks, though it is less commonly employed in everyday language outside of historical or literary contexts.
