U+545D "呝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
呝
U+545D "呝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that generally means "the sound of a cat" or a similar onomatopoeic noise, often referring to a cat's meow or a harsh, rasping sound. In classical usage, it also carries a secondary meaning associated with a throat ailment or hoarseness, as it combines the mouth radical (口) with the phonetic component "戉" (yuè). This character is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, but it appears in some historical dictionaries and literary texts, reflecting its specialized onomatopoeic and medical connotations.
