Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+5C2C "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "embarrassed" or "awkward" and is most famously used as the second component in the compound word "尷尬" (gān'gà), which signifies an awkward or embarrassing situation. In isolation, "尬" appears less frequently, but it retains this core sense of social discomfort or oddness. Belonging to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, this character is traditionally written with a specific stroke order and is composed of the radical for "not" or "improper" combined with phonetic elements. Its usage has also seen a modern revival in Internet slang, where the term "尬" alone can humorously denote cringeworthy or awkward moments.
