U+545A "呚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+545A "呚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that appears in classical texts and is composed of the mouth radical (口) and the phonetic component 武 (wǔ). Its meanings vary by context, often related to exhaling, blowing, or uttering sounds, and in some historical usages it can denote a command or the act of giving voice. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese and is primarily of interest to linguists, paleographers, and scholars of ancient script, as it belongs to a group of obscure ideographs that appear in older dictionaries and inscriptions.
