U+553B "唻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
唻
U+553B "唻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, though it is considered rare or obscure in modern usage. Pronounced as "lái" or "lài" in Mandarin, it historically functioned as a phonetic component in certain Chinese dialects, and it can also be found in classical texts or as a variant form of other characters such as 來 (lái, meaning "to come"). Its structure combines the mouth radical 口 on the left with the phonetic element 來, suggesting a connection to vocalization or sound. Today, it appears primarily in specialized linguistic contexts or historical records rather than in everyday writing.
