U+54F5 "哵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+54F5 "哵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, defined as a graphic representation recorded in ancient Chinese dictionaries. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is generally given as "bā" or "bà," and its historical definitions often relate to the sound of a bird's call or chirping, particularly that of a magpie, as indicated in classical texts such as the "Kangxi Zidian." The character is composed of the radical "口" (kǒu, meaning mouth) on the left, suggesting a connection to speech or sound, and the phonetic component "八" (bā, meaning eight) on the right. This logograph is considered rare in modern usage and appears primarily in specialized linguistic or historical contexts rather than in contemporary written Chinese.
