U+9EBB "麻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
麻
U+9EBB "麻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the concept of hemp or flax, and by extension, the numbing or tingling sensation often associated with the plant's anesthetic properties. In modern usage, it appears in words like "麻烦" (máfan) meaning trouble or bother, and "麻木" (mámù) meaning numb or insensitive. The character is composed of components suggesting a plant or fiber under a roof, tying to its historical use in textiles and rope making, though its semantic range has expanded to include abstract ideas of disorder and sensory dullness in East Asian languages.
