U+9B1A "鬚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鬚
U+9B1A "鬚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "beard" or "whiskers," specifically referring to the hair growing on the face, such as a man's mustache or sideburns. It is composed of the radical "髟" meaning long hair, combined with the component "須" which provides the phonetic hint and also conveys a sense of necessity or demand, though in this context it emphasizes the association with facial hair. This character is used in both classical and modern Chinese literature and writing, often appearing in historical texts, poetry, and descriptions of appearance, while its simplified Chinese counterpart is "须," which carries similar meanings but can also extend to abstract concepts of necessity.
