U+55EE "嗮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嗮
U+55EE "嗮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in Cantonese and other Chinese dialects to represent the sound "sai" or "sai3," often functioning as a colloquial or phonetic component in words. Its meaning can vary depending on context, but it is commonly associated with the concept of "to spread out" or "to dry in the sun." This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block within the Unicode standard, which ensures consistent encoding and display across different digital platforms for languages that use Chinese characters. As with many such ideographs, its usage is more prevalent in informal or regional writing rather than formal literary Chinese.
