U+9EEE "黮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

黮

U+9EEE "黮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character primarily used in classical or literary contexts, with its meaning and pronunciation varying based on historical and regional usage. In modern standard Mandarin, it is often read as "dǎn" or "tàn" and can denote darkness, blackness, or a deep, murky color, sometimes associated with the idea of being dim or obscure. The character is composed of the radical 黑 (black) and the phonetic component 覃, reflecting its ties to descriptions of shadowy or opaque qualities. It appears in ancient texts like the "Shuowen Jiezi" as a term for shaded or unclear states, but it is not commonly used in everyday contemporary Chinese, remaining largely a linguistic artifact for specialists in classical literature or calligraphy.
