U+97EA "韪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
韪
U+97EA "韪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in the compound word 冒昧 (màomèi), where it conveys the meaning of "daring" or "presumptuous" in classical and modern Chinese contexts. Its radical is 韦 (leather) from the left side, while the right side provides phonetic cues, though the character itself is not commonly used in isolation today. Historically, it appears in literary texts to express a sense of audacity or overstepping bounds, often carrying a slightly negative connotation. In standard Mandarin, it is pronounced "wéi," and its usage is now rare outside of specific idiomatic expressions.
