U+8E79 "蹹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8E79 "蹹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph (Hanzi) whose primary meaning relates to the action of treading, stamping, or trampling, often specifically involving the foot. This character is a relatively rare and complex logogram, composed of the radical for "foot" (足) combined with a phonetic component, and is found in classical or literary Chinese texts rather than modern standard usage. While it is defined in major dictionaries as a variant or synonym of the more common character 踏 (tà, meaning "to step on"), 蹹 carries a distinct nuance in certain historical contexts, particularly in descriptions of forceful or repeated stomping movements. Its inclusion in the CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures digital representation for scholarly and archival purposes, preserving this character in the global Unicode standard for East Asian scripts.
