U+8FA2 "辢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
辢
U+8FA2 "辢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that falls under the CJK Unified Ideographs block. It is an alternate or variant form of the character 辣, which primarily means "spicy" or "hot" (as in pepper or chili), and is often used in contexts related to pungent flavors or sharpness. Historically, 辢 combines components suggesting acridity or intensity, and while it is less common in modern standard Chinese writing compared to 辣, it appears in classical texts, calligraphy, and traditional character usage. This character retains the radical 辛 (meaning "bitter" or "pungent") as part of its structure, reinforcing its association with strong tastes.
