U+8DA8 "趨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

趨

U+8DA8 "趨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in the Chinese writing system, where it primarily functions as a verb meaning to hasten, rush, or move quickly toward something, often carrying a sense of urgency or inclination. This character is composed of the radical 走 (walk or run) on the left, which suggests movement, and the phonetic component 芻 (chú) on the right, which hints at its pronunciation in Standard Mandarin as "qū." Beyond its literal meaning, "趨" also appears in compound words such as "趨勢" (trend or tendency) and carries metaphorical connotations of following a trajectory or being drawn toward a particular direction. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a shared element across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean written forms, though its usage and nuances may vary slightly by language.
