U+9ECF "黏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
黏
U+9ECF "黏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "sticky" or "adhesive" and is commonly used in words related to viscosity, glutinous textures, or clinging substances, such as in "黏土" (clay) or "黏著" (adhesion). It belongs to the East Asian CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character set, with its structure combining the radical for grain or rice (黍) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its historical reference to sticky grains like glutinous rice. In modern usage, it appears in both literary and technical contexts, often distinguished from the similar character "粘" which is sometimes used interchangeably but has separate etymological roots.
