U+81D9 "臙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+81D9 "臙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily refers to the throat or the larynx, often used in classical or medical contexts. It is also known to represent a type of cosmetic rouge or pink pigment, historically derived from the word "yan" (胭) as in "yānzhī" (胭脂) for facial makeup. Structurally, it combines the "flesh" radical (月) with the phonetic component "yan" (厭), indicating both its bodily association and sound. This character appears infrequently in modern writing, mostly preserved in historical texts, literary works, or specialized terminology related to traditional beauty practices or anatomy.
