U+9017 "逗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
逗
U+9017 "逗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning "to stay," "to pause," or "to stop," and is also frequently used as a comma-like punctuation mark (known as a "dun" or "dòu") in Classical Chinese texts, where it indicates a brief pause within a sentence, distinct from the full stop. In modern Chinese, it appears in compounds such as "逗留" (dòuliú) meaning "to sojourn" or "to loiter," and "逗号" (dòuhào) which is the term for the standard comma in written Chinese. The character is composed of the "辶" (walk) radical suggesting movement, combined with the phonetic component "豆" (dòu, meaning "bean"), together conveying the sense of a stop or intermission along a path.
