U+6B4E "歎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+6B4E "歎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to sigh" or "to lament," often expressing a sense of deep emotion, admiration, or regret in written language. It is composed of the radical "欠" (qiàn), which relates to blowing air or breathing, combined with the phonetic component "難" (nán) in its simplified form, though the latter carries the idea of difficulty or hardship. This character is used in classical and modern East Asian texts, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it appears in words like "歎息" (to sigh with emotion) and "感歎" (to exclaim in admiration). Its structure and meaning reflect a literary tradition of conveying profound feelings through a single ideograph, making it a notable element in the rich tapestry of CJK unified characters.
