U+54C4 "哄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
哄
U+54C4 "哄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese logogram composed of the mouth radical on the left and the phonetic component “共” on the right, primarily meaning “to coax” or “to soothe” such as in哄小孩 (hǒng xiǎohái, to coax a child) or “to deceive” in certain contexts. It also carries a secondary pronunciation hōng meaning “uproar” or “hubbub” as in哄堂大笑 (hōngtáng dàxiào, the whole room bursts into laughter), and a third reading hòng used in words like起哄 (qǐhòng, to create a disturbance). This character is used in modern Standard Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and Korean Hanja, with its usage spanning everyday communication, literature, and digital text encoding within the Unicode standard.
