U+9F41 "齁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9F41 "齁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in informal or dialectal contexts, most commonly in Mandarin and some southern Chinese languages, to describe a loud, snoring sound or a deep, hoarse breathing, often associated with sleep or congestion. It can also refer to a strong, pungent smell, particularly of things like garlic or onions, and sometimes conveys a sense of being overpowered by such odors. The character combines the radical for "nose" (鼻) with the phonetic component "句" , emphasizing its connection to nasal or respiratory actions. In modern usage, it appears frequently in colloquial expressions and onomatopoeic descriptions, though it is not common in formal written Chinese literature.
