U+5459 "呙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5459 "呙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically represents a surname and also functions as a variant of the character 咼 (wō or hé), which can denote a crooked, winding, or distorted shape, such as a twisted mouth or a gap. In modern usage, it appears in specialized contexts, including classical literature and some place names, but it is not a common character in everyday Simplified Chinese, where it has largely been replaced by other standardized forms. Its radical is 口 (mouth), and its composition combines this with 冎, suggesting a phonetic and semantic link to the concept of irregularity or curvature.
