U+9912 "餒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9912 "餒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in both Classical Chinese and Japanese Kanji, where it primarily conveys the meanings of "hunger," "starving," or "to be famished," often metaphorically extending to a sense of "discouragement" or "dejection" due to lack of sustenance or support. In its composition, the character combines the radical for "food" (食) with phonetic components to suggest the concept of going without food, and it appears in classical texts such as the "Analects" of Confucius to describe both physical hunger and a weakening of spirit. Historically, "餒" has been used in contexts of mourning, impoverished conditions, or times of scarcity, and it remains recognized in modern East Asian languages for its literary and formal connotations. Notably, its simplified Chinese variant is "馁," though the traditional form U+9912 preserves the fuller semantic and historical depth associated with this character.
