U+55FA "嗺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

嗺

U+55FA "嗺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as an onomatopoeic or exclamatory element in classical and literary contexts. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is often given as "zuī" or "zul," and it is traditionally defined as representing the sound of a sigh or a sharp, short vocalization, such as a command or exclamation of disapproval. In historical texts and certain dialects, this character may also be associated with the action of whistling through puckered lips, serving as a phonetic loan for related sounds rather than carrying a concrete or commonly recognized modern meaning.
