U+9005 "逅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
逅
U+9005 "逅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character pronounced "hòu" in Mandarin, which primarily appears in the compound word "邂逅" meaning "to meet unexpectedly" or "a chance meeting." This character is composed of the radical "辶" (walk) suggesting movement or action, combined with the phonetic component "后" (hòu) which provides the pronunciation. In classical Chinese literature and modern usage, "逅" almost exclusively functions within the term "邂逅," describing a serendipitous encounter, often between friends or lovers, and carries a poetic or romantic nuance. It is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard, supporting its use across digital texts for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean typography.
