U+6B31 "欱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+6B31 "欱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that primarily means to drink or to sip, often with the implication of doing so eagerly or in a gulp. It is composed of the radical for "deficiency" or "yawn" (欠) on the right, which is associated with actions related to the mouth or breathing, and a left component that provides phonetic and partial semantic cues. Historically, this character appears in classical Chinese texts, including the Han-era dictionary "Shuowen Jiezi," where it is defined as a verb for consuming liquid. In modern usage, "欱" is extremely uncommon and is considered a variant or archaic form of more standard terms like 喝 (hē), making it of primary interest to scholars of historical linguistics, paleography, and classical literature.
