Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+5556 "啖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to eat" or "to taste" and is also used to refer to bait or an enticement, often in literary or classical contexts. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating speech or oral action, and the phonetic component "炎" (flame or blaze) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (dàn). This character appears in historical texts and poetry, where it can denote the act of consuming food or, in a more metaphorical sense, being lured or deceived. In modern usage, it is less common but retains its original connotations in certain idiomatic expressions and compound words within the Chinese language.
