U+8DEC "跬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
跬
U+8DEC "跬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to a half step or a short stride, often used in classical texts to describe a small measure of distance or a momentary action. In modern usage, it appears in the chengyu "跬步千里" (kuǐ bù qiān lǐ), which metaphorically means that a thousand mile journey begins with a single step, emphasizing the importance of small, consistent efforts to achieve great things. The character is composed of the radical 足 (foot) on the left, indicating its connection to walking or stepping, and the phonetic component 圭 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation.
