U+56BD "嚽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嚽
U+56BD "嚽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character consisting of 19 strokes, composed of the mouth radical (口) on the left and the phonetic component 蟄 (zhí) on the right. Its primary meaning is to take a large bite or to eat greedily, often used in classical or dialectal contexts to describe the action of biting into something with gusto. While it appears in some historical and regional dictionaries, it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin, making it an obscure glyph found mainly in specialized linguistic or typographic references.
