U+8049 "聉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8049 "聉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "deaf" or "hard of hearing," though it can also convey the idea of being dull, obtuse, or lacking spirit in certain contexts. This character is composed of the radical for "ear" (耳) on the upper portion and the phonetic component "出" below, which helps indicate its pronunciation as roughly "wà" or "wù" in Mandarin. It is a relatively rare character in modern usage, appearing mostly in historical or classical texts rather than everyday writing.
