Unicode Version 17.0

啗

U+5557 "啗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to eat" or "to feast on," often conveying the sense of consuming greedily or devouring, and it can also carry the figurative nuance of enticing or luring someone with food or promises. This character is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, which indicates its association with eating or speaking, and the phonetic component "臽" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and meaning. Historically, "啗" appears in classical Chinese texts, such as the "Shiji" by Sima Qian, where it is used to describe both literal acts of eating and metaphorical acts of deception or bribery, reflecting its role in expressing consumption and persuasion across different contexts.
