U+5517 "唗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

唗

U+5517 "唗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically functions as an exclamation or interjection, often conveying a sense of surprise, emphasis, or abruptness in classical or literary texts. Its structure combines the mouth radical (口) on the left, which is common for speech-related characters, with a phonetic component on the right, though its modern usage is extremely limited and it does not appear in standard everyday vocabulary. This character is found primarily in older Chinese dictionaries or specialized linguistic references, where it may be noted as a variant or archaic form rather than a common term in contemporary writing or speech.
