U+7AE2 "竢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
竢
U+7AE2 "竢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in classical or literary contexts, meaning "to wait" or "to await." It is composed of the radical "立" (standing) and the phonetic component "矣" (yǐ), and it appears in ancient texts such as the "Shiji" (Records of the Grand Historian) where it conveys a sense of patient or expectant waiting. In modern Chinese usage, this character is extremely rare, having been largely supplanted by the more common character "待" (dài), though it maintains significance in historical linguistic study and traditional character recognition standards.
