U+556B "啫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+556B "啫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both Cantonese and Mandarin, though it is particularly prominent in Cantonese colloquial writing. In Cantonese, it functions as a particle often added to the end of verbs or phrases to express a sense of immediacy, casualness, or emphasis (for example, "做啫" meaning "just do it" in an offhand way), and it also appears in the onomatopoeic phrase "啫啫" which describes the sizzling sound of food cooking in a hot pot (as in the dish "啫啫煲"). In Mandarin usage, it is less common but can be found as a transcription character. Structurally, it is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left and the phonetic component "者" (zhě) on the right, aligning with its classification as a left-right structured CJK ideograph.
