Unicode Version 17.0
衄
U+8844 "衄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a nosebleed or the act of bleeding from the nose, and it is also historically used in traditional Chinese medicine to describe a condition of nasal hemorrhage. This character is composed of the radical "血" meaning blood, combined with the phonetic component "丑," and it appears in classical texts and medical literature as a specific term for epistaxis. Beyond its literal meaning, "衄" can also denote a sense of defeat or setback in some archaic Chinese usage, though this connotation is less common today.
