U+55F5 "嗵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+55F5 "嗵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as an onomatopoeic word in Mandarin, representing a variety of thumping, pounding, or heavy beating sounds, such as the thud of a drum, the rumble of an explosion, or the heavy footstep of a person or animal. It is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes characters used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, and is composed of the radical "口" (mouth or opening) on the left, indicating its connection to sound or speech, combined with the phonetic component "通" (tōng) on the right. This character is not among the most frequently used in everyday writing but appears in literary texts, descriptive narratives, and certain colloquial expressions to vividly convey auditory imagery.
