U+9006 "逆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+9006 "逆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "reverse," "contrary," "opposite," or "to go against." It is composed of the radical for "movement" or "walk" (辶) combined with the phonetic component "屰" (nì), which itself conveys the idea of opposing or rebelling. In common usage, the character appears in words such as "意外" (yìwài, meaning "unexpected") but more directly in terms like "逆流" (nìliú, "countercurrent") and "逆境" (nìjìng, "adverse circumstances" or "predicament"). It also carries connotations of defiance or resistance, as seen in classical contexts such as "逆命" (nìmìng, "to disobey orders"). Beyond Chinese, the character is used in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, where it similarly denotes opposition or reversal.
