U+758E "疎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

疎

U+758E "疎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character commonly used in traditional East Asian texts, primarily representing the concept of "sparse," "distant," or "neglected." In Japanese, it is pronounced "so" or "mabara" and appears in words like 疎外 (sogai, meaning alienation) and 疎通 (sotsū, meaning communication or drainage). Its structure combines the radical 疋 (a step or foot) with the phonetic component 束 (bundle), though the intended meaning diverges from its components to describe a lack of density or closeness, whether in physical arrangement, relationships, or frequency. This character is closely related to the simplified form 疏, used in modern Chinese, and is historically significant in classical literature and legal documents where it denotes neglect or estrangement.
