U+99DF "駟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
駟
U+99DF "駟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character composed of the radical for horse on the left and the phonetic component "四" (meaning four) on the right, and it specifically refers to a team of four horses that are yoked together to pull a carriage. In classical Chinese texts, this term appears frequently in descriptions of ancient chariotry, where a si would denote the matched quartet of horses drawing a single vehicle, often emphasizing coordination and strength in warfare or ceremonial processions. Beyond its literal meaning, the character also sometimes appears in literary or historical contexts as a metaphor for unity or collective effort.
