U+557D "啽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

啽

U+557D "啽" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese Han character that appears in the CJK (Chinese Japanese Korean) Unified Ideographs block, specifically coded as part of the standard repertoire for representing written East Asian languages. This character, pronounced as "án" in Mandarin, is relatively rare and is used primarily in classical or literary contexts, often associated with meanings related to speaking softly, murmuring, or making indistinct sounds, though its usage is not common in modern everyday Chinese writing. It typically appears in ancient texts or specialized dictionaries rather than in contemporary digital communication, serving as an example of the depth and historical richness encoded in the Unicode standard.
