U+754F "畏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
畏
U+754F "畏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the concepts of fear, awe, or reverence. Often used in classical and modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts, it appears in words like "敬畏" (jìngwèi), meaning to regard with awe or respect, and "畏縮" (wèisuō), meaning to cower or shrink back in fear. Its structure combines the radical for field or rice paddy with elements suggesting a ghost or spirit, symbolizing the ancient association of fear with the unknown or supernatural. This character thus encapsulates both a sense of dread and a respectful deference, frequently found in moral and philosophical writings to advise humility before greater forces.
