U+8E97 "躗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
躗
U+8E97 "躗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to falsehood, deception, or error, often specifically associated with the act of speaking or acting incorrectly. It falls within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, and its structure combines a radical related to the foot or stepping, with a component suggesting speech or words, figuratively representing the concept of straying from truth or proper conduct. While it appears in classical Chinese texts and dictionaries, it is not a common character in modern everyday usage, making it a specialized element for scholarly or linguistic study rather than frequent written communication.
