U+9EE9 "黩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
黩
U+9EE9 "黩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally composed of the radical for "black" (黑) and a phonetic component, and it commonly carries meanings related to defilement, contamination, or bringing dishonor, often specifically referring to the act of besmirching or treating something sacred with disrespect. In classical and modern Chinese usage, it appears in words like "黩武" (dú wǔ), which describes a tendency toward aggressive militarism or the reckless waging of war, and "黩职" (dú zhí), meaning to disgrace or fail in one's official duties. This character thus conveys a strong sense of moral or physical corruption, highlighting actions that taint purity or undermine integrity.
