U+5423 "吣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

吣

U+5423 "吣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in dialects and informal contexts, often meaning "to chatter" or "to speak nonsense," and it is sometimes associated with terms like "langin" (meaning "to talk in one's sleep" or "to utter nonsense"). It belongs to the Kangxi Radical 30 (口, "mouth") and consists of 7 strokes, with a composition that combines the mouth radical on the left and the element for "heart" (心) on the right, reflecting its semantic link to oral expression related to thought or emotion. This character is less common in modern standard Mandarin but appears in older or regional texts, and it holds a Unicode codepoint in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, part of the repertoire for East Asian writing systems.
