U+55E7 "嗧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嗧
U+55E7 "嗧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that is a combination of the radicals for "mouth" (口) and "scorpion" or a phonetic component, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese. Its precise meaning is obscure and often tied to historical or specialized contexts, sometimes appearing in classical texts or regional dialects to denote a specific sound or concept, but it lacks a widely recognized definition in contemporary dictionaries. This character exemplifies the depth and intricacy of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese scripts, highlighting the challenge of preserving rarely used glyphs in digital character sets.
