U+55DB "嗛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

嗛

U+55DB "嗛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means to hold in the mouth, to contain, or to be filled with something, and it also carries a secondary sense of dissatisfaction or resentment, as seen in the classical phrase "嗛嗛" meaning to complain or feel slighted. In modern usage, it is a relatively rare character, often found in classical texts rather than everyday language, and it belongs to the mouth radical (口) with 11 total strokes, reflecting its semantic connection to the act of holding or expressing something orally. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is xián or qiàn, depending on context, and it is distinct from the more common character "嫌" (xián) for suspicion or dislike, though they share some phonetic and semantic overlap.
