U+5F46 "彆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

彆

U+5F46 "彆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to suppress" or "to restrain," often used in the context of holding back emotions or actions, and it also carries the specific sense of "to be contrary or difficult to deal with" in certain dialects. Structurally, it combines the radical for "bow" (弓) with a phonetic component, and it is most commonly encountered in traditional Chinese texts and languages, where it forms part of compound words like "彆扭" (bièniu), meaning awkward, stubborn, or uncomfortable. This character is distinct from its simplified counterpart in modern standard Mandarin but remains in use in traditional script communities and historic written records.
