U+8189 "膉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

膉

U+8189 "膉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the fatty tissue or grease found under the skin, often associated with meat or animal fat, and in classical Chinese texts it can also denote a medicinal term related to a tonic or a type of decoction. This character is composed of the radical “月” (meat/flesh) on the left, indicating its association with the body or organic matter, and the phonetic component “益” on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. In modern usage, it appears infrequently, typically in specialized contexts such as traditional Chinese medicine or historical literature, and it is not a common character in everyday Chinese writing.
