U+9013 "逓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9013 "逓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional and simplified writing, though it is notably more common in Japanese script as a variant form of the character 遞 (dì in Chinese, tei in Japanese), which conveys meanings related to "to hand over," "to transmit," "to relay," or "to alternate." In Japanese, it appears in compound words like "逓送" (teisō, delivery) and "逓信" (teishin, communications), and its structure combines the radical ⻌ (辵, meaning "walk" or "progress") with the phonetic component 弟, suggesting a sense of sequential movement or passing along. Although its usage in modern Chinese is less frequent, it remains recognized as a standard character in the Unicode standard, preserving a historical link to the concept of transmission and exchange.
