The Afterthought
You learn something new every day, or something

 

I just came across this entry in the Taiwanese MOE’s dictionary (教育部重編國語辭典修訂本):

注音一式 ㄔˋ ㄔㄨˋ

漢語拼音 chìchù

,左步。亍,右步。亍指緩步慢行。文選˙潘岳˙射雉賦:「亍中輟,馥焉中鏑。」唐˙柳宗元˙答周君巢餌藥久壽書:「亍而無所趨,拳拘而不能肆。」

So, the character 行 (xíng — “go”) is made up of these two, meaning “left step” and “right step”, respectively. How about that.
