U+55A2 "喢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+55A2 "喢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character with a complex history and usage. Classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, it is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left and the phonetic component "舎" (sha, a variant of 舍) on the right, giving it a pronunciation approximately "shà" in Mandarin. Its primary meaning relates to the act of eating, specifically to eat or drink in a greedy or gluttonous manner, though it can also appear in classical texts with broader connotations of consuming or devouring. This character is relatively rare in modern usage, often found in historical or literary contexts rather than everyday conversation, and its encoding ensures accurate digital representation across systems that support East Asian text.
