U+5465 "呥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

呥

U+5465 "呥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in written Chinese and Japanese, where its primary meaning relates to the action of chewing or nibbling, often implying a slow or careful biting motion, such as when an animal gnaws on something. In its historical usage, it appears in classical Chinese texts and compound words associated with eating or tasting, though it is not a common character in modern everyday language. The character itself is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating its connection to oral actions, and the phonetic component "冉" on the right, which suggests its pronunciation in Middle and Modern Chinese. Overall, it represents a specialized term within the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character set, primarily relevant in literary or technical linguistic contexts.
