U+537B "卻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+537B "卻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "but," "yet," "however," or "to retreat," and it is used in both Classical and Modern Chinese to express contrast or concession in a sentence, similar to the English conjunction "yet" or "still." In Japanese, it is adopted as a kanji with a similar meaning of "instead" or "contrary to expectation," and it appears in words like "kyaku" to denote a turning away or refusal. This character is composed of the radical "卩" (seal) on the right, which relates to kneeling or sealing, and the component "去" (go, leave) on the left, suggesting the act of moving away or stepping back.
