U+5435 "吵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
吵
U+5435 "吵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to quarrel," "to make noise," or "to disturb," and is commonly used in modern Mandarin Chinese to convey a sense of loud, disruptive sound or conflict. Composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating speech or sound, and "少" (few or little) on the right, the character visually suggests a small mouth producing noise, though its etymology relates to the idea of clamor rather than literal smallness. It appears in everyday vocabulary such as "吵架" (to argue) and "吵吵" (to make a racket), and it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block for consistent representation across East Asian writing systems.
