U+5549 "啉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
啉
U+5549 "啉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in East Asian languages such as Mandarin and Japanese. Its meanings include "to sip," "to drink slowly," or can refer specifically in Chinese to a type of chemical compound, such as in the transliteration of "porphyrin" (like chlorophyll) in scientific contexts. In Japanese, it is less common but can appear in names or as a rare variant for similar phonetic uses. The character combines the "mouth" radical (口) on the left with the phonetic component "林" (meaning "forest") on the right, indicating a sound-based construction rather than a purely ideographic one.
