U+5571 "啱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
啱
U+5571 "啱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in Cantonese, where it conveys meanings of appropriateness, correctness, or exactness, such as in the common phrase "啱啱" meaning "just right" or "exactly." It is also associated with the idea of agreeing or fitting neatly into a context. This character is composed of the "口" (mouth) radical on the left and the phonetic component "岩" on the right, reflecting its oral or colloquial usage. In standard Mandarin, it is less common and is often read as yán or yàn, though its primary cultural and linguistic significance remains in Cantonese-speaking regions like Hong Kong and Macau, where it is a frequent and versatile part of everyday speech.
