U+5425 "吥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5425 "吥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically conveys the meaning of "no," "not," or "to refuse," often functioning as a colloquial or dialectal variant of the standard negation word "不." It is composed of the radical 口 (mouth, often indicating speech or utterance) and the phonetic component 不 (bù), suggesting its use in spoken language for expressing denial or objection. While not as common in modern Standard Mandarin, "吥" appears in some classic literary texts and regional dialects, such as in classical Chinese poetry or as a phonetic loan character in older vernacular writings. Its representation in the CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures compatibility across digital systems for displaying historical or specialized Chinese textual content.
