Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+566C "噬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to bite" or "to gnaw," often conveying a sense of consuming or devouring with teeth. It is frequently used in classical and modern Chinese texts to describe the action of animals or even metaphorical forces, such as time or erosion, that slowly destroy or engulf something. The character is composed of the mouth radical "口" on the left, indicating oral action, and the phonetic component "筮" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In compound words, it appears in terms like "吞噬" meaning "to swallow up" or "to engulf," and it carries a nuanced connotation of relentless or aggressive consumption.
