U+55FF "嗿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

嗿

U+55FF "嗿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to eat greedily" or "to gobble," often carrying a connotation of gluttony or voracious appetite. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, which relates to actions of the mouth or eating, and a phonetic component on the right that provides its pronunciation, roughly read as "tǎn" in modern Mandarin. This character is used in classical Chinese literature and some modern contexts to describe hasty or excessive eating, though it is considered a rare or less common character in contemporary usage. Its inclusion in the CJK Unified Ideographs block reflects its role in traditional and historical written Chinese texts, encompassing over 20,000 distinct characters standardized for digital representation across East Asian languages.
