U+7AF8 "竸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
竸
U+7AF8 "竸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily means "to compete" or "to strive," functioning as a variant or archaic form of the more common character 競 (jìng). It is composed of two elements, often interpreted as two competing figures or the concept of contending, and is used in classical or literary contexts rather than in modern standard Chinese. This character falls within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses characters shared across multiple East Asian writing systems, though "竸" is not commonly found in everyday usage today.
