U+8E4A "蹊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蹊
U+8E4A "蹊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily conveys the meaning of a small path, footpath, or lane, often used in classical and modern Chinese literature to describe a narrow or winding route. It can also carry the figurative sense of a way or method, as seen in the idiom "独辟蹊径" (dú pì xī jìng), which means to blaze a new trail or find an original approach. Additionally, the character appears in terms like "蹊跷" (qī qiāo), where it denotes something strange, suspicious, or odd. Pronounced as "xī" in Mandarin, this ideograph reflects the richness of classical Chinese vocabulary in describing both physical and abstract pathways.
