U+9F6A "齪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

齪

U+9F6A "齪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex East Asian ideograph used primarily in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, where it carries the meanings of cramped, narrow, or sordid, often appearing in compound terms like "龌齪" (wòchuò) meaning filthy or morally base. This character is composed of the radical 齒 (tooth) as a semantic component, hinting at a connection to dirtiness or gnashing, and the phonetic component 足 (foot), which suggests its pronunciation in Mandarin as "chuò" or in Cantonese as "cuk3". Historically, it has been used in Classical Chinese texts to describe tight spaces or coarse behavior, and in modern contexts it remains relevant in literary and formal writing, though it is less common in everyday simplified Chinese, where it is sometimes replaced by simpler variants.
