Unicode Version 17.0
嘆
U+5606 "嘆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of sighing, lamenting, or expressing deep emotion, often in response to sorrow, regret, or admiration. It is composed of the radical for "mouth" (口) suggesting vocalization, and a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation in various East Asian languages, such as "tan" in Mandarin and "nage" in Japanese. Historically used in classical poetry and literature, this character captures a sense of heartfelt exclamation, appearing in compound words like 感嘆 (kantan in Japanese, gǎntàn in Chinese) meaning to sigh with feeling, and it remains a common element in modern written forms of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
