U+5412 "吒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
吒
U+5412 "吒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb or exclamation, often conveying the meaning of "to shout" or "to scold," and it is famously used in the name of the mythological figure Nezha (哪吒), a protective deity in Chinese folklore. This character consists of the mouth radical (口) on the left and the phonetic component "乇" on the right, reflecting its etymological connection to vocal expressions. In classical texts, "吒" also appears in Buddhist contexts as a transliteration for syllables in mantras, and it retains usage in modern Chinese for describing loud, assertive speech or sounds.
