U+4E73 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "milk," "breast," or "to breastfeed," and it is commonly used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems. Composed of the radical 乙 (second, winding) and the element 孚 (trust or brood), its historical etymology reflects a pictorial representation of a mother nourishing a child. In practical usage, it appears in words such as 牛奶 (niúnǎi, cow's milk), 乳房 (rǔfáng, breast), and 哺乳 (bǔrǔ, lactation or breastfeeding). This character holds cultural significance in East Asian contexts, particularly in discussions of family, nutrition, and maternal care.
