U+77EB "矫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+77EB "矫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in modern Standard Mandarin, where it carries meanings related to correcting, rectifying, or making something straight, as seen in words like "矫正" (jiǎozhèng, to correct). It can also convey a sense of being strong, vigorous, or acting with deliberate pretense, such as in "矫健" (jiǎojiàn, strong and agile) or "矫情" (jiǎoqíng, to be affected or contrived). Historically, the character is composed of the radical "矢" (arrow) and the phonetic component "乔" (qiáo), hinting at its original association with straightening an arrow shaft, which evolved into broader notions of adjustment and moral correction.
