U+8E7F "蹿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蹿

U+8E7F "蹿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in simplified Chinese script, where it means "to leap" or "to jump up quickly," often implying a sudden or vigorous upward movement, such as an animal darting upward or a flame flaring. It is composed of the radical "足" meaning foot, which indicates action or movement, and the phonetic component "窜" (cuàn), which contributes sound and also conveys a sense of darting or scurrying. In everyday usage, it appears in contexts like describing a cat leaping onto a table or prices skyrocketing in financial reports, though it is less common in literary or formal writing compared to its traditional counterpart. The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which supports diverse East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, though its usage is predominantly within modern Chinese text.
