U+9951 "饑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
饑
U+9951 "饑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a classical Chinese character traditionally denoting severe hunger, famine, or a specific lack of food, and it belongs to the radical "飠" (food/eat) with the phonetic component "幾." This ideograph is distinct from the more common character "飢" (jī), which generally means hungry; "饑" carries stronger connotations of widespread agricultural failure or catastrophic scarcity. It appears in classical texts and historical records to describe periods of famine, and in modern contexts it is less frequently used, often replaced by simpler characters, though it remains essential for understanding historical literature and calligraphy.
