Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5480 "咀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified writing systems, primarily meaning "to chew" or "to masticate." It often appears in compound words like "咀嚼" (jǔjué), which denotes the act of chewing food, and can also imply deliberation or pondering in a figurative sense, as in "咀嚼文字" meaning to savor or repeatedly consider the meaning of words. Historically, the character is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating its oral association, and the phonetic component "且" (qiě) on the right, which provides a hint to its pronunciation. In modern usage, it is most commonly encountered in literary contexts or idiomatic expressions rather than everyday conversation.
