Unicode Version 17.0
吷
U+5437 "吷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily denotes the action of blowing air or uttering a soft sound, often with a connotation of sighing or whispering. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is "xuè" or "jué," and it is composed of the mouth radical (口) on the left, suggesting oral activity, combined with a phonetic component. The character appears in classical Chinese texts, such as the Zhuangzi, where it is used in the context of a brief, sharp exhalation or a subtle vocal expression, though it is considered rare and is not commonly used in modern written Chinese.
