U+55A8 "喨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
喨
U+55A8 "喨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in classical and some modern contexts, particularly in Cantonese. It is a compound character built with the mouth radical on the left and the phonetic component "亮" (meaning bright or clear) on the right, contributing to its pronunciation "leung6" or "lìang" and its general meaning of "clear" or "bright" in sound, such as describing a resonant voice or a crisp tone. While less common in standard Mandarin, it appears in historical texts and regional usage to convey clarity or loudness in auditory perception.
