U+5453 "呓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
呓
U+5453 "呓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to talk in one's sleep" or "to rave" and is often used in the context of delirious or nonsensical speech, such as in the compound word "梦呓" (mèng yì) meaning "sleep-talking" or "ravings." It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth), indicating speech or sound, and the phonetic component "艺" (yì), which hints at its pronunciation. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block in the Unicode standard, encoding it for digital text representation across languages that use Chinese characters, though it is most commonly found in modern Mandarin Chinese.
