U+8EB7 "躷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
躷
U+8EB7 "躷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character whose composition and meaning reflect its historical association with physical description. It is formed with the radical for body or person on the left and the phonetic component "矮" on the right, which itself implies shortness or lowness. Consequently, the character "躷" is traditionally interpreted as describing a person who is short in stature, often used in classical texts to denote a small or diminutive physical frame. Due to its specialized and outdated usage, it is not commonly encountered in modern Chinese writing, but remains preserved in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs repertoire.
