U+9FAA "龪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
龪
U+9FAA "龪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji/hanja) historically used in East Asian writing systems, primarily meaning "narrow" or "cramped," and it also conveys a sense of dirtiness, impurity, or moral baseness, as seen in the compound word "龌龊" (wò chuò) which describes something filthy, despicable, or of petty narrow-mindedness. This character, with its traditional form "齪" and simplified variant "龊," belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and contains the radical "齒" (tooth/molar) combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its long history in classical texts where it often described confined spaces or, by extension, unrefined or base conduct.
