U+5487 "咇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5487 "咇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally pronounced "bì" or "biē" in Mandarin, and it generally conveys the meaning of the sound of spitting or expressing something abruptly, such as a sudden burst of speech or the act of spurting liquid from the mouth. This ideograph is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, indicating its connection to oral actions or sounds, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation. While not among the most common characters in modern Chinese, it appears in classical texts and certain regional usages, often describing onomatopoeic actions like a quick, forceful expulsion of words or water.
