Unicode Version 17.0

U+53EE "叮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the sound of a bell or a jingling noise, often used as an onomatopoeia in written Chinese. It appears in common words such as "叮咬" (dīng yǎo, meaning to sting or bite, as of an insect) and "叮咛" (dīng níng, meaning to exhort or give repeated advice). The character combines the radical for "mouth" (口) on the left, suggesting sound or speech, with the phonetic component "丁" (dīng, meaning nail or small piece) on the right. In digital contexts, it belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is frequently used in everyday communication, from describing the alert of a notification to illustrating the act of a mosquito biting.
