U+5498 "咘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
咘
U+5498 "咘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a phonetic component within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) writing systems, often appearing in transliterations of foreign words or sounds. In modern Mandarin Chinese, it is used in words like "咘咘" (bù bù), which can replicate the sound of a car horn or other similar noises, and it may also be found in some regional dialects or transliterated place names. While not a high-frequency character in everyday usage, its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for accurate digital representation of such phonetic and onomatopoeic expressions across various platforms and texts.
