U+8E56 "蹖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8E56 "蹖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that is rarely used in modern East Asian languages, primarily appearing in classical or historical texts. Its meaning is generally associated with the action of rushing forward or charging, often with a connotation of stumbling or being unsteady, as its structure combines the radical for "foot" (足) with a phonetic component. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, designed to encode common logographic scripts, and its usage is virtually nonexistent in everyday writing, making it a linguistic artifact preserved mainly for scholarly or specialized contexts.
