嗽
U+55FD "嗽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to cough" or "to clear the throat," and it is also used in the context of rinsing the mouth. This ideograph is composed of two components: the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating an action involving the mouth, and the phonetic element "欶" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation "sòu" in Mandarin. It is a standard character in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese scripts, commonly found in medical contexts for respiratory symptoms or in daily hygiene practices. The character appears frequently in vocabulary such as "咳嗽" (cough) and "漱口" (to rinse the mouth), making it an important part of everyday language.
