U+5450 "呐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

呐

U+5450 "呐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that appears in both modern and classical texts, commonly used to represent the meaning of "shout" or "speak loudly," often conveying a sense of calling out or exclamation. It is also frequently employed as a phonetic component in transliterations, most notably in the word "呐喊" (nà hǎn), which means "to shout" or "to cry out," and carries strong cultural resonance in Chinese literature, particularly through its use in the title of Lu Xun's famous short story collection "Call to Arms." Structurally, the character is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, indicating speech or sound, and the phonetic element "内" (nèi) on the right, providing a clue to its pronunciation. In Unicode, it belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is used across various East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, though its usage and meaning remain closely tied to the Chinese linguistic context.
