U+821A "舚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+821A "舚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that primarily means "to lick" or "to taste with the tongue," often associated with the action of an animal or person extending the tongue to sample or savor something. It belongs to the radical "舌" (tongue) and is composed of additional strokes that evoke the idea of extending or protruding, appearing in classical texts and poetry to describe delicate or tactile sensations of tasting. Though seldom used in modern Chinese, this glyph retains its historical connection to sensory perception and is recognized in Unicode’s extensive CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) repertoire for encoding traditional East Asian logographs.
