U+95B9 "閹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to the act of castration, particularly in the context of court eunuchs in imperial China, where it denoted both the physical procedure and the resulting state of being a eunuch. Composed of the radical for "gate" or "door" (門) combined with a phonetic component, it appears in classical texts and modern usage to describe the role of eunuchs in palaces, as well as in agricultural contexts referring to the castration of animals. Its pronunciation is "yān" in Mandarin, and it carries a range of connotations from specific historical practices to broader figurative uses in Chinese literature.
