U+5511 "唑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
唑
U+5511 "唑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used primarily in modern written Chinese and Japanese, where it functions as a phonetic component in loanwords and scientific terminology. Pronounced "zuò" in Mandarin, it is most commonly encountered as part of the compound word "噁唑" (èzuò, meaning "oxazole") in organic chemistry, where it denotes a class of heterocyclic compounds. The character combines the "mouth" radical (口, kǒu) with the phonetic element "坐" (zuò, meaning "to sit"), reflecting its use in transliterating foreign sounds rather than conveying a direct semantic meaning. In everyday contexts, "唑" rarely appears outside of specialized chemical or pharmaceutical vocabulary.
