U+557E "啾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
啾
U+557E "啾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents a chirping or twittering sound, often used to describe the calls of birds or small animals. It can also function as an onomatopoeic word in literary contexts to convey soft, repetitive noises, and appears in compound terms like "啾啾" to intensify the sense of a gentle, continuous peeping. In historical usage, the character occasionally denotes a sucking or sipping action, and it is classified under the "mouth" radical, reflecting its phonetic and semantic ties to vocal expressions.
