U+8139 "脹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
脹
U+8139 "脹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji/hanzi) that primarily means "swell," "inflate," or "expand," often referring to physical bloating or distention in the body, such as abdominal swelling. It combines the semantic radical for flesh/body (月) with the phonetic component 長 (meaning long or growth) to convey the idea of tissue becoming enlarged. In modern usage, it appears in terms like "膨脹" (péngzhàng, to expand or swell) and is commonly used in medical contexts to describe conditions like gas or edema. This character is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which includes characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems.
