咋
U+548B "咋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both Mandarin and other dialects, primarily functioning as an interrogative particle meaning "how" or "why" in informal speech, as in the word "zěnme" (怎么) where it sometimes appears in variant forms, but it also carries secondary meanings of a loud or sudden sound (similar to "roar" or "bark") and is found across classical and modern texts.
