U+5515 "唕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
唕
U+5515 "唕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically obscure Chinese character that appears in classical texts, primarily used as a variant or archaic form of the character "唸" which means to chant or recite, especially in the context of Buddhist sutras or ritual incantations. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block and is composed of the "mouth" radical on the left and the phonetic component "皋" on the right, though it is not commonly used in modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing and is mainly of interest to scholars of historical linguistics or paleography.
