U+55EB "嗫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+55EB "嗫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the mouth radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, primarily used in written Chinese to represent the meaning of speaking hesitantly or stammering, often seen in the compound word "嗫嚅" which describes muttering or speaking in an indistinct, mumbling manner.
