U+900D "逍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+900D "逍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily appears in the compound word "逍遙" (xiāoyáo), meaning "free and unfettered" or "leisurely and carefree," often used to describe a state of wandering without restraint or worldly concerns. This character itself combines the radical for motion or walking (辶) with the phonetic component 肖, and it is most famously associated with the Daoist text the Zhuangzi, where the opening chapter "逍遙遊" (Xiaoyao You, or "Free and Easy Wandering") explores the theme of absolute spiritual freedom. In modern usage, it retains this classical sense of serene detachment and is employed in both literary and colloquial contexts to evoke a leisurely, unburdened lifestyle.
