U+9A5A "驚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
驚
U+9A5A "驚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of surprise, alarm, or fear, and is commonly used in both traditional and simplified Chinese scripts, though its simplified form is 惊. This ideograph originates from ancient Chinese writing, where it combines the radical for "horse" (馬) with a phonetic component, evoking the image of a horse startled or bolting in fright. In literary and modern contexts, it appears in words such as "驚嚇" (jīngxià, to frighten) or "吃驚" (chījīng, to be astonished), and it also plays a role in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, where it carries similar connotations of shock or wonder.
