U+5427 "吧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5427 "吧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both Traditional and Simplified scripts, primarily functioning as a modal particle or an auxiliary word. In Mandarin, it is often added to the end of sentences to indicate a suggestion, request, or tentative statement, similar to English phrases like "let's" or "why don't we," as in "走吧" meaning "let's go." It can also express uncertainty or a mild command, and in some contexts, it serves as a phonetic component in loanwords, such as in the transliteration of "bar" (as in a drinking establishment) in words like "酒吧" (jiǔbā).
