U+9949 "饉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
饉
U+9949 "饉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically means "famine" or "crop failure," often specifically referring to a severe shortage of food that leads to widespread hunger. Composed of the radical for "food" (飠) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, it appears in classical texts and modern contexts to describe scarcity and hardship, such as in the word "饑饉" (jī jǐn), meaning famine or destitution. This character thus carries deep cultural and historical weight, evoking periods of economic and agricultural crisis in East Asian history.
