U+9F5D "齝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
齝
U+9F5D "齝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character primarily used in classical or historical texts, where it denotes the act of ruminating, specifically the chewing of cud by animals such as cattle or goats. Its structure combines the radical for "tooth" or "fang" (齒) on the left with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its etymological connection to the grinding motion of teeth during digestion. In modern Chinese, this character is largely obsolete, having been replaced by more common terms, but it appears occasionally in specialized lexicons or ancient literature, offering insight into how early Chinese writers described biological processes.
