U+54EE "哮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

哮

U+54EE "哮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "roar" or "howl" and is often used in words describing the fierce sounds made by animals, particularly tigers or other large beasts. It is commonly found in classical literature and modern language within terms like "咆哮" (páo xiào), which means "to roar" or "to rage." This character is composed of the mouth radical (口) on the left, indicating its association with sound or speech, and the phonetic component "孝" (xiào) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. In historical and cultural contexts, "哮" evokes imagery of powerful, untamed nature and is also used in medical terminology, such as in "哮喘" (xiào chuǎn), meaning "asthma," where it describes a wheezing or rasping sound in breathing.
