U+9F85 "龅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
龅
U+9F85 "龅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily appears in traditional and simplified scripts, commonly used in the term "龅牙," which refers to protruding or buck teeth, often describing a dental condition where the upper front teeth stick out prominently. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, and its pronunciation is "bāo" in Mandarin, reflecting its specific meaning related to tooth structure rather than broader anatomical or symbolic concepts. The character is composed of the radical for tooth (齿 or 齒) and a phonetic component, illustrating how Chinese characters often combine semantic and phonetic elements to convey both meaning and sound.
