U+8E85 "躅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8E85 "躅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that predominantly carries the meaning of “to trample,” “to tread,” or “to stamp,” often used in classical or literary contexts to describe the act of stepping heavily or walking with force. It is composed of the radical for “foot” (足) on the left side, which governs its semantic field related to feet or movement, and the phonetic component “蜀” on the right. While not commonly used in modern everyday Chinese, it appears in historical texts and idioms, and in Japanese it is also used in the compound word “躅く” (tachizuku) meaning “to loiter” or “to hesitate,” though this usage is rare. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is recognized across multiple East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
