U+9A9B "骛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9A9B "骛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to gallop" or "to rush about" and is also used to signify the concept of "to strive for" or "to pursue." It is composed of the radical for "horse" (马 or 馬) combined with a phonetic component 敄 (wù), reflecting its connection to swift movement or intense exertion. In classical and modern Chinese, it appears in compound words like "驰骛" (to dash or speed along) and "好高骛远" (to reach for what is beyond one's grasp, often describing unrealistic ambition). This character is classified under the Kangxi radical 187 for "horse" and is used in both literary and formal contexts, though it is less common in everyday simplified Chinese writing.
