U+8DE3 "跣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
跣
U+8DE3 "跣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "barefoot" or "to go barefoot," and it is composed of the radical for "foot" combined with a phonetic component suggesting a connection to washing or cleaning. In classical Chinese texts, it often appears in phrases describing the act of walking without shoes as a sign of respect, humility, or ritual purity, such as in Confucian ceremonial contexts where one might "跣" (barefoot) to honor ancestors. This character is pronounced "xiǎn" in Mandarin and is used in both modern and historical written Chinese, though it is less common in everyday speech, retaining a formal or literary nuance.
