U+7ACA "竊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7ACA "竊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to steal" or "to take by stealth," and it also conveys a sense of doing something privately or secretly, such as in the expression "竊聽" meaning "to eavesdrop." Composed of the radical 穴 (cave or hole) and the phonetic component 切 (to cut or to be close), the character's structure visually suggests a surreptitious action occurring within or through a hidden space. In Classical Chinese texts, "竊" is often used as a humble adverb meaning "I dare to" or "I venture to," adding a tone of modesty or deference to statements. It is a common character in written Chinese, appearing in historical literature, legal contexts, and idiomatic phrases, and it is encoded in Unicode under the CJK Unified Ideographs block for consistent digital representation across languages and platforms.
