U+9768 "靨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
靨
U+9768 "靨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character primarily meaning "dimple" or "small dent on the cheek," often associated with facial beauty in classical literature. It is composed of the radical for "face" (面) and a phonetic component, and its usage appears in historical texts and poetry, reflecting aesthetic ideals rather than modern common vernacular. In the context of the Unicode standard, it belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, which encodes shared ideographic characters across these East Asian writing systems. The character is rare in contemporary language but may be encountered in specialized cultural or literary studies.
