Unicode Version 17.0
味
U+5473 "味" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a common Chinese character that means "taste," "flavor," or "smell." It is composed of the radical 口 (mouth), which suggests a connection to sensory perception, and the phonetic component 未, which indicates pronunciation. The character appears in words such as 味道 (wèi dào, meaning "flavor" or "taste") and 美味 (měi wèi, meaning "delicious"). In broader East Asian contexts, including Japanese and Korean, "味" similarly conveys the idea of savor or essence, and it is classified under the Kangxi radical 30 in traditional lexicography.
