嘀
U+5600 "嘀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character pronounced as "dí" or "dī" in Mandarin, primarily used in modern written Chinese as an onomatopoeic word representing the sound of a drip, a ticking clock, or a soft beep, such as in "嘀嗒" (dīdā) for ticking. It is also a component in the colloquial term "嘀咕" (dígu), meaning to mutter or whisper, often implying speaking in a low, unclear voice or expressing doubt. The character belongs to the Kangxi radical 30 (口, mouth) and is frequently employed in technical contexts, such as representing a beep in computing or signaling, reflecting its sonic imitation function in the language.
