U+7AA9 "窩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+7AA9 "窩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily denotes a den, nest, lair, or hollow place, often used for animals or, by extension, a person's hideout or home in a figurative sense. It is composed of the radical for cave or hole (穴) on top, indicating shelter, and the phonetic component 咼 (guō) underneath, which contributes to its pronunciation as "wō" in Mandarin. This character appears in various contexts, from describing a bird's nest (鳥窩) to a secret meeting place or even a socket in technical terms. As part of the Unified CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideograph set, it shares usage across multiple East Asian languages, though its specific meanings can vary slightly between them, such as in Japanese where it can also imply a crevice or depression.
