U+5471 "呱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5471 "呱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the sound of a baby crying or the croaking of a frog, and in classical texts it appears as an onomatopoeic term within the idiom "呱呱而泣" to describe an infant's wail. Its modern usage also extends to describing loud, coarse crying or shouting, and it is commonly found in compound words such as "呱呱叫," which ironically means to be wonderful or top notch despite its noisy origins. Structurally, the character belongs to the mouth radical (口) and carries phonetic components that hint at its sound based nature.
