U+55C1 "嗁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+55C1 "嗁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that typically denotes the sound of crying or wailing, often associated with the loud sobbing of a child or a mournful lament. It belongs to the set of East Asian ideographs in the Unicode standard and is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left side, indicating speech or sound, combined with a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation. Though not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese texts, it appears in classical literature and dictionaries where its meaning conveys a sharp, prolonged weeping sound.
