Unicode Version 17.0
嗐
U+55D0 "嗐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in classical or literary contexts, often functioning as an interjection to express a sigh, regret, or sudden realization, similar to exclamations like "alas" or "oh" in English. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, representing a logogram that combines the mouth radical (口) on the left with a phonetic component on the right, and it appears in historical texts and some modern written works to convey a tone of lament or mild surprise. While not commonly used in everyday conversation, this character retains a distinct presence in written Chinese for emphasizing emotional reactions in narratives.
