U+8079 "聹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
聹
U+8079 "聹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character primarily used in classical or literary contexts, often representing the concept of "earwax" or a related auditory or physical condition. Its structure combines the radical for "ear" (耳) with a phonetic component, and it appears in historical texts or specialized dictionaries rather than in modern everyday usage. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, this character is encoded to facilitate the digital representation of traditional Chinese writing, though its practical frequency is low.
