Unicode Version 17.0
啜
U+555C "啜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning to sip, taste, or drink slowly, often with an implication of small, careful mouthfuls. It can also carry the connotation of sobbing or weeping, as seen in the classical Chinese phrase “chuò qì” (啜泣), which means to sob with short, broken breaths. The character is composed of the radical for "mouth" (口) on the left, indicating an action related to the mouth, and the phonetic component on the right, which hints at its pronunciation. In modern usage, it appears in both literary and everyday contexts to describe gentle drinking or emotional expressions of grief.
