U+55EA "嗪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嗪
U+55EA "嗪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used primarily in East Asian languages, specifically in modern Chinese, where it appears in the chemical compound name "piperazine" (piperazine, written as 哌嗪 in Chinese) and in the herbicide ingredient "simazine" (西玛嗪). It is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, indicating a connection to sound or breath, and the phonetic component "秦" (qín) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "qín". This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block in the Unicode standard, where it represents a specific logographic symbol found in technical or scientific vocabulary rather than in everyday language.
