How it's used
This character is almost exclusively used in formal or academic contexts to refer to the Fujian region or its associated linguistic and cultural groups. It rarely appears in casual conversation outside of specific compound terms like 閩南話 or 閩菜. It functions as a morpheme rather than a standalone noun in modern spoken Cantonese.
