U+9072 "遲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
遲
U+9072 "遲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "late," "slow," or "delayed," and it carries connotations of tardiness or postponement in both time and action. It is composed of the radical 辵 (辶), which relates to movement or walking, and the phonetic component 犀 (xī, meaning "rhinoceros" or "sharp"), though the latter's original role in indicating sound has evolved over time. Commonly used in modern Chinese and Japanese (where it is also read as "chi" or "okureru"), this character appears in words like 遲到 (chídào, "to be late") and 遲緩 (chíhuǎn, "slow" or "sluggish"). Historically, it has been employed in classical texts to describe both literal slowness and metaphorical delays in events or judgments.
