U+5FF8 "忸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
忸
U+5FF8 "忸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in modern and classical Mandarin texts, where it conveys meanings related to shyness, bashfulness, or embarrassment, often appearing in the word "忸怩" (niǔní), which describes a feeling of awkwardness or being ill at ease. Morphologically, it is a compound ideograph with the radical 忄 (heart or mind) on the left, indicating an emotional or mental state, and the phonetic component 丑 on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. This character is also present in some other East Asian writing systems like Japanese and Korean, where it retains a similar semantic nuance tied to feelings of self-consciousness or timidity.
