U+9F65 "齥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9F65 "齥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that historically refers to the act of gnawing or chewing, often associated with animals or the process of wearing down food with the teeth. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified set of characters and is composed of radical components related to teeth or biting, such as the "齒" (tooth) radical, combined with phonetic elements to convey its specific meaning. Due to its uncommon usage in modern texts, it primarily appears in ancient or classical Chinese literature, where it describes detailed actions involving mastication. Its presence in the Unicode standard ensures that even such niche historical symbols can be digitally represented and preserved for linguistic and cultural study.
