U+816E "腮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
腮
U+816E "腮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of a cheek or the side of the face, specifically the fleshy area between the jaw and the ear. In modern Chinese, it is commonly used in words related to the face, such as "腮帮子" meaning the cheek area. The character belongs to the radical "肉" (meat or flesh) on its left side, and the phonetic component "思" on the right, giving it both semantic and phonetic cues typical of many compound Chinese characters. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block and is used across multiple East Asian writing systems, primarily in simplified and traditional Chinese.
