U+5561 "啡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5561 "啡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used as a phonetic component in loanwords, most notably in the compound "咖啡" (kāfēi), meaning "coffee." While it does not carry a standalone semantic meaning like many traditional Chinese characters, its modern usage is almost entirely tied to transliterating foreign sounds, particularly in the context of beverages and cafes. The character is composed of the radical 口 (mouth, conveying speech or sound) and the phonetic component 非 (fēi), which contributes to its pronunciation. Beyond coffee, it appears in other transliterated terms such as "嗎啡" (mǎfēi, morphine), demonstrating its role in representing foreign syllables in written Chinese.
