U+9767 "靧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9767 "靧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily means "to wash the face." It belongs to the set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs and is composed of a semantic component related to skin or leather (面, "face") and a phonetic component hinting at its pronunciation. Historically, this character appears in classical Chinese texts, such as in the idiom "靧面" (huì miàn), which describes the act of cleansing one's face, often as part of traditional hygiene or ritual purification. In modern usage, 靧 is considered obscure and is rarely employed in everyday language, though it survives in some specialized dictionaries and historical literature.
