U+8F79 "轹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8F79 "轹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to run over" or "to crush," as in a wheel passing over something, and it also conveys the sense of "to bully" or "to oppress" in a figurative extension. Pronounced "lì" in Mandarin, this character is composed of the radical "车" (chē, meaning "cart" or "vehicle") on the left, indicating its association with wheels or movement, and the phonetic component "乐" (lè, meaning "joy" or "music") on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts to describe the act of vehicles grinding over a surface, and it is used in compound words like "轹杀" (to crush to death) or "轹蹂" (to trample upon). This character is not among the most common modern Chinese characters, but it is preserved in literary and formal contexts, reflecting its root in ancient depictions of physical and metaphorical pressure.
