U+6661 "晡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

晡

U+6661 "晡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes the time period of late afternoon, specifically from around 3 PM to 5 PM, often associated with the hour of the monkey in traditional Chinese timekeeping. It appears in classical texts and compound words related to the afternoon meal or the afternoon watch, such as "晡時" meaning the afternoon session. This character is composed of the radical 日 (sun or day) and the phonetic component 甫, reflecting its connection to daily time segments. In modern usage, it is less common but still recognized in literary and historical contexts, particularly in descriptions of daily schedules or in the names of traditional Chinese medicinal formulas like "大承氣湯" where timing of administration is specified.
