U+55C4 "嗄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+55C4 "嗄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a suffix in modern Mandarin, often used to transliterate foreign sounds or to represent an interrogative or exclamatory particle, though its historical usage includes meanings related to a hoarse or raspy voice, as derived from its composition of the mouth radical and the phonetic component "夏" (xia). In classical texts, it can also denote the sound of tearing or a sudden, sharp cry. Today, it appears in limited contexts such as in the transliteration of the word "sag" in technical terms or in regional dialects, and it is categorized under the Kangxi radical 30 (口, "mouth").
