U+558B "喋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
喋
U+558B "喋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese logogram representing the Han character pronounced as "dié" in Mandarin, historically used in the context of speech and verbal communication, often meaning "to chatter" or "to talk endlessly." It appears in classical and modern Chinese texts, sometimes in compound words like "喋喋不休" (diédié bùxiū), which describes incessant or tiresome talking. The character itself is composed of the mouth radical "口" on the left, indicating its connection to speech, and the phonetic component "枼" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation.
