U+5551 "啑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

啑

U+5551 "啑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically appears in classical texts and functions primarily as a verb meaning to "strike" or "hit," often used in the context of martial actions or aggression. It is also known to have a rarer, alternative reading related to the act of "tasting" or "savoring" in some ancient literary usages. The character is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, indicating speech or oral action, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation, which in modern Mandarin is typically read as "dié" or "sà" depending on the context. While not commonly used in contemporary Chinese writing, it appears in classical poetry and historical documents, preserving a nuanced lexical heritage within the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) script system.
