U+8FFA "迺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
迺
U+8FFA "迺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used historically in classical and literary texts, often as a variant of the character 乃 (nǎi), which primarily functions as a copula meaning "to be" or as a conjunction meaning "thus" or "then" in classical Chinese. It appears in ancient inscriptions and preserved writings, particularly in formal or archaic contexts, and is less commonly used in modern simplified Chinese but retains presence in traditional texts, calligraphy, and some East Asian cultural artifacts. The character is composed of the radical for "to walk" or "movement" (辶 or ⻌) combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its evolved usage in conveying relational or causative meanings within classical prose.
