U+96B6 "隶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
隶
U+96B6 "隶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically means "attendant" or "slave" and also functions as a component in modern standard Chinese. In its ancient usage, it referred to a person in servitude or a low-ranking official, and it is notably the key radical in the character for "calligraphy" (隶书, lìshū), which describes the clerical script style of writing that emerged during the Han dynasty. In contemporary Chinese, it appears in words such as "隶属" (lìshǔ), meaning "to be subordinate to" or "under the jurisdiction of," reflecting its enduring semantic connection to hierarchy and affiliation.
