Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5374 "却" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as an adverb or conjunction in modern Mandarin, conveying the meaning of "but," "yet," or "however," while also carrying the sense of "to retreat," "to decline," or "to reject" in Classical Chinese and certain compound words. In its adverbial role, it introduces a contrast or unexpected turn in a sentence, similar to the English "nevertheless," and is commonly used in written and formal speech. Its traditional form, 卻, is also used in some contexts, but the simplified character 却 is standard in mainland China, with the character originating as a depiction of kneeling or yielding, reflecting its historical associations with withdrawal or refusal.
