U+5302 "匂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
匂
U+5302 "匂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji and Han character that primarily means "fragrance," "aroma," or "scent," and is commonly used in Japanese and occasionally in Chinese contexts. It is composed of the radical "勹" (wrap) over a simplified form of "匕" (spoon or ladle), and its structure suggests the idea of something enveloping or carrying a pleasant smell. In Japanese, it appears in words like "匂う" (niou, to be fragrant) and "匂い" (nioi, smell or odor), and it is distinct from the more complex Chinese character "香" (xiāng), which also means fragrance but has a different cultural and phonetic usage.
