唵
U+5535 "唵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character commonly used in East Asian languages, particularly in Chinese and Japanese, where it functions as a phonetic or semantic component. It is most notably recognized as a sacred syllable in Buddhism, often chanted as "om" or "aum" in mantras, representing the primordial sound of the universe and serving as a foundational element in Tibetan Buddhist practices. In Chinese, it can also appear in transliterations of Sanskrit texts or in classical literature, though its usage is specialized rather than common in daily conversation.
