U+8E7E "蹾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蹾
U+8E7E "蹾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of a left foot radical and a right phonetic component, primarily used in classical or regional contexts to denote the action of squatting or crouching down, often with the knees bent and weight resting on the balls of the feet. In modern standard Mandarin, it is sometimes associated with the verb "蹲" which similarly means to squat, though "蹾" appears less frequently and may carry a more specific or colloquial nuance in certain dialects or literary texts. Its usage reflects the rich historical evolution of Chinese characters, where variations in radicals and phonetics encode subtle differences in meaning or pronunciation.
