U+8DE0 "跠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
跠
U+8DE0 "跠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant or form of "跽" (to kneel or to squat on one's heels), though it also carries connotations of a specific way of sitting or crouching with legs spread apart in traditional contexts. It belongs to the Kangxi Radical section for foot (足, meaning "foot" or "leg") and is recorded in historical Chinese dictionaries such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it describes a posture that contrasts with proper kneeling etiquette in ancient Chinese customs. In modern usage, this character is exceptionally uncommon and is mostly encountered in classical texts or specialized linguistic studies rather than in everyday written communication.
