U+8E55 "蹕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8E55 "蹕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to clear the way for an emperor or high official" or "to stop and make way," often associated with the imperial practice of ordering people to step aside or halt during a royal procession. It is composed of the radical for "foot" (足) on the left and the phonetic component "畢" on the right, and it appears in classical texts as a verb related to ceremonial protocol and authority. In modern usage, the character is rare but can still be found in historical or formal contexts, such as in discussions of ancient Chinese court rituals or as a component in certain place names and literary references.
