U+54E9 "哩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
哩
U+54E9 "哩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originally functions as a measure word or a phonetic particle, often used in transliterating foreign units such as "mile" (as in 英里, yīnglǐ) or in informal contexts to represent a cheerful, echoing sound like "li" in interjections. In modern usage, it may also appear in expressions indicating a slight pause or confirmation, particularly in colloquial or dialectal speech, such as in Cantonese. Its structure combines the "mouth" radical (口, kǒu) on the left, hinting at its phonetic or sound-related role, with the component 里 (lǐ) on the right for sound and suggested meaning of distance or measure.
