U+968F "随" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

随

U+968F "随" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings "to follow," "to comply with," "to accompany," or "along with," and it is commonly used in modern and classical Chinese texts. It can also denote the concept of being casual or informal, as seen in the word 随便 (suíbiàn) for "whatever" or "as one pleases." Structurally, it combines the radical 阝 (𨸏, representing a mound or hill) on the left with elements on the right that contribute to its phonetic and semantic layers, though its original form 隨 has been simplified in standard Chinese writing. In addition to its linguistic role, 随 frequently appears in philosophical contexts, such as in Taoist or Confucian discourses about adaptability and following the natural course of events, and it remains widely recognized in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese sinitic vocabulary.
