U+8DA3 "趣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
趣
U+8DA3 "趣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "interest," "delight," or "charm," and is also associated with the concept of "to go toward" or "to hasten" in classical contexts. It is composed of the radical "走" (zou), meaning "to walk" or "to run," combined with the phonetic component "取" (qu), which suggests the idea of taking or seeking. This ideograph is commonly used in modern Chinese in words like "興趣" (xingqu, meaning "interest") and "有趣" (youqu, meaning "interesting"), and it appears in Japanese and Korean as well, where it carries similar nuances of appeal or enthusiasm.
