U+8849 "衉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8849 "衉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that appears in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, though its exact meaning and usage are obscure and not widely documented in modern standard Chinese. Historically, this character is believed to be a variant or archaic form of the character 衉, which is described in ancient Chinese dictionaries such as the Kangxi Dictionary and relates to the concept of “vomiting” or “disgorging,” often associated with the semantic component for “clothing” or “garment” (衤) combined with a phonetic element. In practice, it is rarely used in contemporary writing and is primarily encountered in classical texts, where it may signify the act of spitting up or ejecting something from the mouth.
