U+6B44 "歄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6B44 "歄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character, categorized under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, that is primarily associated with the concept of a crooked or distorted mouth, often referencing a smile or expression that is uneven or askew. Its composition combines the radical "欠" (qiàn), which relates to lack or deficiency and is often linked to mouth actions or breathing, with a phonetic component "呙" (guō) that contributes to its pronunciation. This character appears in classical Chinese texts and dictionaries but is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin, having largely fallen out of everyday usage. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that historical and literary works containing this ideograph can be accurately preserved and displayed in digital text, serving as a testament to the rich complexity and historical depth of the Chinese writing system.
