U+6B71 "歱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6B71 "歱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and specialized logograph used in written Chinese, where it is composed of the radical for "stop" or "foot" (止) on the left and a phonetic component (重) on the right, and its traditional meaning relates to the heel of a foot or to following in the footsteps of someone, often conveying the sense of pursuing or tracing a path. This character is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin but can be found in classical texts and historical dictionaries, where it serves as an archaic variant or a less frequent synonym for more common characters like "踵" (zhǒng), which also means heel. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it stands as a testament to the depth and historical richness of East Asian writing systems, encoding a specific concept that has largely faded from everyday usage.
