Unicode Version 17.0
骇
U+9A87 "骇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to shock," "to frighten," or "to be startled," and is commonly used in modern Chinese to convey a sense of sudden alarm or amazement. It is composed of the radical "马" (horse) on the left, suggesting a connection to speed or movement, and the phonetic component "亥" on the right. In practical usage, it appears in words like "惊骇" (jīng hài), meaning "to be terrified or horrified," and is frequently employed in both literary and colloquial contexts to describe a strong emotional reaction to an unexpected event. The character stands as an example of how CJK ideographs combine meaning and sound to express nuanced concepts within the Chinese writing system.
