U+8E72 "蹲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蹲

U+8E72 "蹲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character primarily meaning "to crouch," "to squat," or "to bend the knees," with its form consisting of the foot radical 足 on the left and the phonetic component 尊 on the right. This ideograph is used in both modern and classical East Asian texts to describe the physical posture of lowering the body close to the ground, often with a connotation of resting, waiting, or performing actions like defecating when applied in certain contexts. It appears in compound words such as "蹲踞" (squatting) or "蹲下" (to squat down), and its structure reflects the semantic connection to feet and the sound component that provides a clue to its pronunciation in Chinese (dūn) and Japanese (son or tsuku).
