U+8E21 "踡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8E21 "踡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to curl up, bend, or coil, often describing a cramped or contracted posture of the body or limbs. It is composed of the radical ⾜ (zú), meaning foot, and the phonetic component 卷 (juǎn), which conveys the idea of rolling or curling. This character is used in classical and modern Chinese texts to depict physical contraction, such as lying curled up or huddling for warmth, and it appears in compound words like 踡跼 (quán jú), meaning to curl up or be constrained. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is "quán," with a second tone, reflecting its semantic connection to bending or folding.
