U+8142 "腂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8142 "腂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in classical or historical contexts, often representing a component of the body or a physical process. Its meaning relates to the lower part of the leg or the calf, specifically referring to the muscle or flesh between the knee and ankle, and it can also denote to swell or become swollen, as in edema. This character appears in some traditional medical texts and older literary works, but it is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, where more common characters like "腿" (leg) or "肿" (swell) have largely replaced it in everyday writing and speech.
