蹇
U+8E47 "蹇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning lame, difficult, or unfortunate, and it is also associated with the concept of a nag or inferior horse in classical texts. Composed of the radical for foot or leg as a semantic component, its structure suggests a physical impediment, and it appears in historical Chinese literature, such as in the Yi Jing (I Ching) where it names the 39th hexagram "Jian" representing obstruction or adversity. In modern usage, it can be found in compound words like "蹇澀" (jianse) meaning rough or awkward in speech or writing, and it remains a part of standard Chinese character sets for digital communication.
