U+55D7 "嗗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嗗
U+55D7 "嗗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or literary contexts, often representing the sound of an animal's howl or a throaty cry, such as the barking of a dog. Its composition combines the mouth radical making it semantically related to vocal sounds, with a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation, which is roughly read as "gu" or "wa" in Mandarin depending on the dialect. Found in ancient dictionaries and some historical texts, this character does not belong to the modern standard vocabulary used in everyday Chinese writing or speech.
