U+9049 "遉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

遉

U+9049 "遉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character historically used in East Asian writing systems, particularly in traditional Chinese and Japanese. Its common meanings relate to the concept of "spying" or "watching" often implying a stealthy or secretive observation akin to a detective or scout. In Chinese, it is a variant of the character 偵 (zhēn) and appears in classical texts and some compound terms, though it is less frequently used in modern standard Mandarin. In Japanese, it is recognized as a hyōgai kanji or uncommon character, read as "うかがう" (ukagau) in the sense of to visit or to inquire, and it also appears in the name of the historical figure Imakō no Sukune 遉 (though modern usage is rare). This character thus carries nuanced connotations of careful or surreptitious scrutiny depending on context.
