U+5699 "嚙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5699 "嚙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to gnaw," "to bite," or "to nibble," often used in classical and modern texts to describe the action of rodents or other animals chewing through hard objects. It is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation in various East Asian languages, such as "niè" in Mandarin Chinese and "kamu" as a related root in Japanese. This character appears in literary contexts, such as idioms or descriptions of wear and tear, and shares semantic overlap with simplified forms like 啮, though the traditional and unsimplified variant retains its historical complexity.
