U+55A0 "喠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
喠
U+55A0 "喠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or archaic contexts, with its modern usage being rare. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left and the phonetic component "重" (heavy or weight) on the right, which influences its pronunciation. The character's meaning is related to eating or swallowing, specifically denoting the action of gulping down food or drink, often with a connotation of haste or greediness. In historical texts, it may also be associated with other phonetic or semantic variations, but today it is largely considered an obscure or obsolete character within the standard repertoire of Chinese writing.
