U+8DCE "跎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

跎

U+8DCE "跎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning to stumble or to slip, often extended metaphorically to suggest wasting time or being hindered in one's progress. It is composed of the radical for foot, 足 (zú), and a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation, which is "tuó" in Mandarin Chinese. This character is notably featured in the common Chinese idiom "蹉跎" (cuōtuó), which conveys the sense of idling away time or letting opportunities slip by due to procrastination or aimlessness. As a part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, "跎" is used in modern and classical Chinese writings, particularly in literary or formal contexts where themes of lost time or regret are expressed.
