U+77EE "矮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+77EE "矮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "short" or "low" in stature, height, or level, and is used in both modern and classical contexts to describe a person or object of diminutive physical height. It is composed of the radical 矢 (arrow) combined with 委 (entrust or bend), which together convey a sense of something being bent or compact, hence short. In East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, this character appears in common words like "矮小" (short and small) and contrasts with characters representing tallness, such as 高. The character is encoded in Unicode as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which standardizes thousands of logographic script characters used across these languages.
