U+5488 "咈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5488 "咈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in historical and literary contexts, primarily representing an exclamation or interjection expressing disagreement, disapproval, or a negative response, somewhat akin to "pshaw" or "bah" in English. It appears in classical texts such as the "Book of Documents" (Shangshu), where it conveys a tone of refusal or objection, and it is composed of the radical for "mouth" (口) on the left, indicating speech or sound, and the phonetic component "弗" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (typically read as "fú" or "bì" in Mandarin). While not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, it remains a recognized part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block for representing ancient or specialized vocabulary.
