U+779B "瞛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+779B "瞛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to gaze at" or "to stare angrily," often associated with sharp or piercing eye movements. It is composed of the radical 目 (eye) on the left, indicating its visual semantic field, and the phonetic component 從 (cong) on the right, which suggests its pronunciation in Middle Chinese. This character appears sparingly in classical Chinese texts and literary works, where it describes intense or fierce looks, but it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin or everyday writing. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures digital representation for specialized academic and historical documentation, preserving a nuanced term for scholars of Chinese linguistics and paleography.
