Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+54AC "咬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that means "to bite" or "to snap at," and it also conveys the idea of chewing or gnawing, often used metaphorically to describe persistent effort or sharp criticism. This logogram, classified under the Kangxi radical 口 meaning "mouth," is composed of the "mouth" radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its pronunciation in Mandarin as "yǎo." In modern usage, it appears in common words like 咬住 (to bite down), 咬文嚼字 (to be pedantic about word choice), and 咬牙切齿 (to gnash one's teeth in anger), illustrating its versatility in both literal and figurative contexts within written Chinese.
