追
U+8FFD "追" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to pursue," "to chase," or "to follow after" something or someone. It is composed of the radical 辶 (walk) on the left, suggesting motion or action, and the phonetic component 隹, which originally depicted a short-tailed bird. In classical and modern usage, the character appears in words related to pursuit, such as “追求” meaning "to seek" or "to strive for" and “追踪” meaning "to trace" or "to track."
