Unicode Version 17.0
咕
U+5495 "咕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as an onomatopoeia, representing sounds like a rumbling stomach, the cooing of a dove or pigeon, or a bubbling liquid. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating its connection to sound, and the phonetic component "古" (old) on the right. In modern usage, it appears in words such as "咕噜" (gulu) to describe a rumbling or gurgling sound, and "咕咚" (gudong) for a plopping or thumping noise. This character is common in informal and literary contexts, where it adds an auditory quality to descriptions.
