U+9F67 "齧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9F67 "齧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that fundamentally means "to gnaw," "to bite," or "to nibble," often depicting the action of rodents or insects chewing through hard objects. It is composed of the radical for "tooth" or "fang" (齒) combined with a phonetic component, and its usage extends into Classical Chinese literature where it can metaphorically describe erosion, persistent wear, or the gradual destruction of something over time. In modern contexts, this character appears in technical terms such as "齧齒類" (rodents) and in specific compound words across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it retains its core meaning related to biting or gnawing. The character is classified under the Kangxi radical for "teeth" and is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a stable element in East Asian typography for conveying the concept of repetitive, forceful biting.
