U+55C3 "嗃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+55C3 "嗃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex East Asian character primarily used in classical Chinese and Japanese texts, where it represents a sound or exclamation, often associated with shouting, harshness, or a loud, resonant noise. Its composition features the "mouth" radical on the left, indicating its relation to vocal expression, while the right component contributes to its phonetic and semantic nuances. Historically, this character appears in ancient Chinese literature, such as in descriptions of thunderous sounds or authoritative commands, and its usage has become increasingly rare in modern writing, preserved mainly in scholarly or specialized contexts.
