U+5524 "唤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5524 "唤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to call" or "to summon," often used in the context of shouting someone's name or issuing a vocal summons. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating its connection to speech or sound, and the phonetic component "奂" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (huàn in Mandarin). This character appears in everyday vocabulary, such as in the word "召唤" (zhàohuàn) meaning "to evoke" or "to call forth," and plays a functional role in both classical and modern Chinese writing. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is widely used across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, where it retains similar meanings related to vocalization or prompting.
