U+9EEF "黯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
黯
U+9EEF "黯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "dark," "dim," or "gloomy," often used to describe deep blackness or a somber atmosphere. It combines the radical 黑 (black, dark) with the phonetic component 音 (sound, tone), though the phonetic clue is not exact in modern pronunciation. In classical Chinese literature, this character frequently appears in poetic contexts to evoke melancholy, obscurity, or the fading of light, such as in phrases like "黯然失色" meaning to be overshadowed or lose luster. It is commonly used in both literary and modern Chinese to convey a sense of deep, quiet darkness or emotional heaviness.
