U+545F "呟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
呟
U+545F "呟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily pronounced "xuān" in Mandarin, though it also appears in Japanese with the reading "tsubuya" or "tobu." Its meaning centers on a soft, murmuring sound, often referring to whispering or muttering under one's breath, and it is sometimes used in classical texts to describe the faint noise of flowing water or distant voices. In modern usage, the character is less common but can be found in literary contexts to convey a subdued, contemplative vocalization or a subtle environmental sound.
