U+5490 "咐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
咐
U+5490 "咐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning "to instruct," "to enjoin," or "to tell," and it is most commonly encountered in the compound word "吩咐" (fēn fù), which means "to instruct" or "to command." This character is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left side, indicating its connection to speech or communication, and the phonetic component "付" (fù) on the right, which suggests its pronunciation. In modern Chinese usage, "咐" is rarely used as a standalone character and instead appears almost exclusively in the bisyllabic word "吩咐," where it carries the nuanced sense of giving a directive or entrusting someone with a task in everyday conversation and written texts.
