U+55FC "嗼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

嗼

U+55FC "嗼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in classical and literary contexts, where its meanings include "silent," "still," or "quiet," often conveying a sense of deep solitude or the absence of sound. It is also associated with the concept of "muteness" or "not speaking," and appears in historical texts and poetry to describe a tranquil or desolate atmosphere. The character is composed of the mouth radical "口" on the left, indicating speech or sound, and the phonetic component "莫" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (mò in Mandarin) and adds a sense of negation or dormancy. While not common in modern everyday usage, "嗼" remains a notable element in the study of classical Chinese literature and calligraphy, representing a nuanced expression of stillness.
