U+549E "咞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+549E "咞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used in historical or regional writing, pronounced roughly as "xiàn" or "xiè" in Mandarin. Its primary meaning is associated with the action of sipping or tasting, often specifically referring to drinking in small amounts or the act of sampling liquid, such as soup or tea. The character is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, which relates to oral actions, and a phonetic component on the right that influences its pronunciation. While not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, it may appear in classical texts or traditional literature, contributing to the rich historical depth of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs encoding system.
