U+5664 "噤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
噤
U+5664 "噤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally pronounced jìn in Mandarin, meaning "to shut the mouth," "to be silent," or "to refrain from speaking." It is composed of the mouth radical 口 on the left and the phonetic component 禁 on the right, which also carries the semantic nuance of prohibition or restraint. In classical and modern Chinese usage, "噤" often appears in terms like "噤声" meaning "to hush" or "to fall silent," and "噤若寒蝉," a four character idiom describing someone who keeps quiet out of fear, like a cicada in cold weather. This character thus conveys a sense of enforced or fearful silence, distinct from voluntary quietness.
