U+55CD "嗍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嗍
U+55CD "嗍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to suck" or "to sip," often describing the action of drawing liquid or air into the mouth, such as when sucking on a straw or a piece of candy. Composed of the radical for "mouth" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, it is used in both spoken and written Chinese, though it is less common than its synonym "吸" (xī). In practical usage, it can appear in contexts related to eating or drinking, particularly for foods that require suction, like noodles or soup. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
