U+55DC "嗜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+55DC "嗜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to be fond of" or "to have a strong liking or addiction to" something, often with a connotation of habitual indulgence or craving. Its structure combines the mouth radical (口) on the outside and the phonetic component (耆) inside, which together evoke the idea of enjoying or savoring something repeatedly. This character appears frequently in compound words such as 嗜好 (shì hào), meaning "hobby" or "addiction," and 嗜睡 (shì shuì), meaning "drowsy" or "excessive sleepiness." In classical and modern Chinese, it is used to describe strong preferences, whether for foods, habits, or other activities, and it sometimes carries a slightly negative implication of overindulgence.
