U+9EE3 "黣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9EE3 "黣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily means "moldy" or "musty" and is composed of the radical for "black" (黑) combined with a phonetic component suggesting the sound "mei." In classical Chinese texts, it describes things that have become dark or discolored due to dampness or mildew, often referring to food or clothing that has spoiled. It is considered a variant of the more common character "霉" (méi), which carries the same meaning, and is not frequently used in modern Chinese writing or digital communication.
