Source: Browser Default
U+55C5 "嗅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a standard traditional Chinese logograph that primarily means "to smell" or "to sniff," often referring to the act of perceiving odors through the nose. This character is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, which can indicate actions related to breathing or vocalization, and the phonetic component "臭" on the right, which itself means "stench" or "scent." In various East Asian languages, including Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese historical usage, "嗅" carries a similar semantic meaning and is used in contexts ranging from literal olfactory perception to metaphorical sensing or detecting.
