U+5587 "喇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
喇
U+5587 "喇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a phonetic component in words such as "喇叭" (lǎba), meaning "loudspeaker" or "trumpet." It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, suggesting sound or speech, and the phonetic component "剌" on the right. This character is commonly used in written Chinese to represent both the noun for a horn or loudspeaker and as a transliteration sound in certain foreign words or names. In the broader context of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) usage, it appears in historical texts and modern vocabulary, though its standalone meaning is less common outside of compound terms.
