U+9A45 "驅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+9A45 "驅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to drive," "to expel," or "to urge forward," often used in contexts of driving animals, vehicles, or forcing something away. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 187, which is associated with horses, reflecting its original connection to driving a horse-drawn carriage. In modern usage, it appears in words such as "驅動" (qūdòng, meaning "to drive" as in a motor or software driver) and "驅逐" (qūzhú, meaning "to expel" or "to banish"). The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard, encompassing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, and carries historical significance in classical texts where it describes both physical coercion and abstract concepts like dispelling darkness or evil.
