U+99D1 "駑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
駑
U+99D1 "駑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character (also used in Japanese and Korean) that primarily means "an inferior or slow horse" or, by extension, a "dull" or "incompetent person." Composed of the radical for horse (馬) and the phonetic component 奴 (nú, meaning slave or servant), it conveys the sense of a drudge or beast of burden, often carrying a slightly derogatory or humble connotation. In classical texts and idioms, such as "駑馬十駕" (a slow horse can still cover a thousand miles with ten days' effort), it symbolizes persistence despite mediocrity. This character is rarely used in modern daily writing but appears in historical and literary contexts.
