U+5579 "啹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
啹
U+5579 "啹" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in historical and regional contexts, primarily representing a phonetic component in loanwords or transliterations. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, which often indicates meanings or sounds related to speech or sound, and the phonetic element "居" (jū) on the right. This character is notably obscure in modern Standard Chinese but appears in ancient texts or specialized dictionaries, such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined with the pronunciation "jū" and meanings related to animal sounds or toponyms. Its usage is extremely rare today, confined largely to scholarly or linguistic studies of archaic or dialectal vocabulary.
