U+89EB "觫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
觫
U+89EB "觫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in classical or literary contexts, where it carries the meaning of "to tremble with fear" or "to be terrified," often depicted through the radical for "horn" (⾓) combined with other phonetic and semantic elements. This character appears in the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, and while it is considered a rare or esoteric character in modern usage, it is notably found in the classic Chinese idiom "觳觫" (húsù), which describes an animal shivering in fear, particularly a cow about to be slaughtered. As a result, 觫 serves as a vivid, poetic descriptor for extreme fright or trembling.
