U+9045 "遅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
遅
U+9045 "遅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and Japanese kanji that primarily means "late," "slow," or "delayed." It is an alternate or simplified form of the traditional character 遲, and in modern usage, it appears most commonly in Japanese writing, where it forms part of words like 遅刻 (chikoku, meaning "tardiness") and 遅い (osoi, meaning "slow" or "late"). The character is visually composed of the radical for "movement" or "walking" (辶) on the left, with a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation. Despite its simplicity compared to the traditional character, it retains the core semantic sense of temporal or speed-related slowness.
