U+908B "邋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

邋

U+908B "邋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character from the Han script, traditionally pronounced as "lā" in Mandarin. Its core meaning conveys a state of being slovenly, untidy, or messy, often used in the compound word "邋遢" (lā ta) to describe someone who is unkempt or careless in appearance and habits. This character is composed of the radical for "walk" or "movement" (辵/辶) on the left, which hints at a sense of dragging or disorderly motion, combined with the phonetic component "獵" (liè) simplified on the right. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts to denote both physical dirtiness and moral or behavioral looseness. In modern usage, while still carrying negative connotations of sloppiness, it is less formal and more common in colloquial or descriptive language.
