U+54D9 "哙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
哙
U+54D9 "哙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that functions as an alternative form of the character 噲, primarily used in traditional contexts. Historically, it can mean to swallow quickly or to gulp, but in modern usage, it is often associated with a vulgar exclamation in some dialects, particularly as a coarse term for feces or excrement. This character is composed of the radical 口 meaning mouth on the left, and the phonetic component 会 on the right, reflecting its logographic structure. While it appears in classical Chinese texts, its contemporary use is limited and generally considered informal or offensive, making it less common in standard written Chinese today.
