U+5659 "噙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5659 "噙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to hold in the mouth" or "to contain," often describing the action of keeping something, such as liquid or an object, gently between the lips without swallowing or spitting it out. It can also be used metaphorically to convey the idea of harboring feelings or tears, as in "含噙" (hán qín), meaning to hold back emotions. This character is composed of the radical 口 (mouth) on the left, indicating its association with the mouth, and the phonetic component 禽 (qín) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation.
