U+8DB5 "趵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

趵

U+8DB5 "趵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that belongs to the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, encompassing historical and modern East Asian scripts. It is composed of the radical "足" (meaning foot or leg) on the left side, combined with the phonetic component "勺" (meaning spoon or ladle) on the right, and is pronounced in Mandarin as "bào" or "bō" depending on context. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts to describe a kicking or stomping motion, such as a horse or person striking the ground with force, and is most notably found in the toponym "趵突泉" (Baotu Spring) in Jinan, China, where it describes the spring's water gushing or leaping upward. This character is considered rare in modern usage, appearing primarily in specialized or literary contexts.
