U+5308 "匈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
匈
U+5308 "匈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes the chest or breast area of the human body, often used in historical and classical texts as a noun for the thorax or bosom. In a broader cultural and historical context, it also serves as a component in the name "匈奴" (Xiōngnú), referring to the ancient nomadic confederation known as the Xiongnu, who were prominent rivals of Chinese dynasties such as the Han. Additionally, the character appears in modern Chinese in terms like "胸腔" (chest cavity) and "心匈" (breast or heart region), though its usage is more confined to formal, medical, or literary registers rather than everyday speech.
