U+5466 "呦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
呦
U+5466 "呦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in East Asian scripts, particularly in Mandarin and Japanese contexts. It is composed of the mouth radical (口) on the left and the phonetic component 幼 on the right, and it often represents a sound or exclamation, such as the cry of an animal or an interjection expressing surprise or calling attention, akin to "Oh!" or "Hey!" in English. In classical Chinese literature, it appears in the phrase "呦呦鹿鸣" from the Book of Songs, describing the gentle bleating of deer, and in modern usage it remains a versatile, if somewhat poetic, onomatopoeic character.
