U+5641 "噁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5641 "噁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts, primarily meaning "nauseating," "vile," or "evil." It is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, which often relates to speech or sounds, and a phonetic component on the right that is derived from 惡 (è or wù), meaning "evil" or "bad." Historically, its usage overlaps with the simplified character 恶 in some contexts, but 噁 specifically emphasizes an exclamation or description of disgust, as in the interjection "噁" to express revulsion. In modern Chinese, it appears in terms like 噁心 (ě xin), meaning "disgusting" or "nauseous," and remains distinct from the homophonic 惡 in formal writing.
