U+8F21 "輡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

輡

U+8F21 "輡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that traditionally means "to be stuck" or "to be unable to advance," often associated with a rut or a difficult situation in a path, as its radical is "車" (vehicle or cart) combined with phonetic elements. It appears in classical Chinese texts and historical dictionaries like the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined with connotations of obstruction or hardship during travel. In modern usage, the character is obscure and seldom encountered outside of specialized linguistic or historical contexts, making it a part of the extended repertoire of CJK ideographs that preserve ancient meanings.
