U+5401 "吁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
吁
U+5401 "吁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries multiple meanings, primarily associated with sighing, exclaiming, or expressing a gentle appeal or entreaty, often used in literary or classical contexts to convey a tone of surprise, lament, or a soft call for attention. In modern usage, it can also function as a phonetic component or appear in compounds such as "呼吁" (to appeal or call for something). The character is composed of the radical "口" (mouth), indicating a connection to utterance or sound, and the phonetic element "于," which contributes to its pronunciation as "xū" in Mandarin.
