U+8E90 "躐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8E90 "躐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to step over, to skip, or to stride across, often used in the context of passing over a rank or order, such as in the phrase "躐等" meaning to skip a step or grade. Composed of the radical "足" (foot) on the left and the phonetic component "獵" (lie) on the right, it conveys the action of moving beyond a boundary or sequence. This character is rarely used in modern everyday Chinese but appears in classical texts and formal writing, where it typically carries a connotation of improper or hasty transgression of rules or hierarchy. Its usage is most commonly found in literary or legal contexts to describe overstepping or acting out of turn.
