U+6B20 "欠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
欠
U+6B20 "欠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "lack" or "deficiency," often associated with being short of something, such as money or time, as well as the action of "owing" or "yawning." In its ancient oracle bone and bronze script forms, the pictograph depicts a person with an open mouth, symbolizing the act of yawning or breathing out. Beyond its standalone use, "欠" frequently appears in compound words and phrases in modern Chinese and Japanese, such as "欠点" meaning "defect" or "shortcoming," and it also functions as a radical in other characters, hinting at actions or states related to the mouth or deficiency.
