遭
U+906D "遭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to encounter," "to meet with," or "to suffer," often used in contexts involving unexpected or unfortunate events, such as experiencing disaster or meeting with opposition. It is composed of the radical "辶" (walk) on the left, suggesting movement, and the phonetic component "曹" on the right, which provides both sound and a hint of gathering or plurality.
