U+9A7D "驽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
驽
U+9A7D "驽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "inferior horse" or "jade," though its more common usage refers to a slow or worn-out horse, often used metaphorically to describe someone of humble talent or ability. In classical Chinese texts, it can appear as a self-deprecating term, such as in the phrase "驽马" (nú mǎ), meaning "a dull horse" or "a mediocre person." The character combines the radical 马 (horse) with the phonetic component 奴 (slave), suggesting a horse of low status or strength. In modern usage, it is relatively rare but retains its literary and historical connotations of modesty or inadequacy.
