U+81FE "臾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
臾
U+81FE "臾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "for a moment" or "a short while," often used in classical and modern Chinese to denote a brief period of time, such as in the word "須臾," meaning an instant. It is composed of the radical 臼 (mortar or a container for rice) and a phonetic component, and it also carries the secondary meaning of "to draw close" or "to coax" in some contexts. This character is historically significant in Chinese literature and philosophy, appearing in texts like the "Zhuangzi" and "Analects of Confucius" to describe fleeting moments or subtle actions.
