Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+50E5 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional and simplified forms, primarily pronounced as "jiǎo" in Mandarin, though it also carries an alternate reading of "yáo" in certain contexts. It conveys meanings related to fortune, chance, or luck, often appearing in the term "僥倖" (jiǎoxìng), which means "lucky" or "by sheer luck," and is sometimes associated with the idea of seeking undeserved gain or fluke success. This character, composed of the radical "亻" (person) and the phonetic component "堯" (yáo), is historically rooted in classical Chinese texts and continues to see usage in modern East Asian languages, including Japanese (where it is used in the word "ぎょうこう" for luck) and Korean (where it is read as "gyo").
