蹰
U+8E70 "蹰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to hesitate" or "to waver," often used in the compound word "踟蹰" (chíchú), which describes a state of indecision or lingering in place. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block and is composed of the radical 足 (foot) on the left, indicating a connection to walking or motion, and the phonetic component 厨 on the right.
