U+7A9D "窝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
窝
U+7A9D "窝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character pronounced "wō" in Mandarin and generally means "nest," "den," "lair," or "burrow," and by extension can refer to a cozy hollow, a cavity, or a place where someone or something is lodged or sheltered. It appears in compounds like 鸡窝 for "chicken coop," 心窝 for "heart" or "chest cavity," and 窝囊 to describe a feeling of being frustrated, stifled, or useless. The character is constructed with the "cave" radical (穴) on top, indicating a covered or hollow space, and the phonetic component 呙 (wō) below, which hints at its pronunciation. In everyday usage, 窝 conveys both a physical sense of an animal's or person's sheltering spot and a figurative sense of being stuck or confined.
