U+55F2 "嗲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+55F2 "嗲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is most commonly used in informal or regional speech, particularly in Wu dialects like Shanghainese, where it carries the meaning of "coquettish," "affectionate," or "sweetly spoiled," often describing a person's tone or behavior in a playful or endearing manner. In Mandarin, it is pronounced "diǎ" and is typically used to denote a sugary or whining quality in voice, such as in the phrase "发嗲" (fā diǎ), meaning to act spoiled or to speak in a cutesy way. The character is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left and the phonetic component "爹" (diē) on the right, reflecting its connection to sound and utterance.
