U+7ECC "绌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7ECC "绌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "insufficient," "inadequate," or "deficient," and it can also carry connotations of "to shrink" or "to be at a disadvantage." It is the simplified form of the traditional character "絀" and is commonly used in classical and modern Chinese texts to describe a lack or shortfall, such as in phrases concerning moral failure or material scarcity. The character is composed of the radical for silk (纟) on the left, hinting at its original connection to textiles or weaving, and the phonetic component 出 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "chù." In historical contexts, it appears in philosophical works like the Dao De Jing, where it contrasts with notions of abundance or excess.
