U+98D8 "飘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+98D8 "飘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to float" or "to drift" in the air, often associated with light, flowing movement like that of a flag, leaf, or cloud carried by the wind. It conveys a sense of ethereal motion and instability, and is commonly used in words such as "飘扬" (to flutter) and "飘荡" (to waver or drift). The character is composed of the radical "风" (wind) on the left side, indicating its link to air and breeze, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation. While its core meaning revolves around airborne floating, it can also metaphorically describe a wandering, unsettled state or fleeting emotions.
