嘈
U+5608 "嘈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally classified as a radical 30 component, and it primarily means noise, clamor, or a loud and jarring sound often associated with bustling crowds or harsh discordant noise. It frequently appears in classical and modern Chinese literature to describe the din of a noisy marketplace or the cacophony of many voices speaking at once. In its extended usage, "嘈" can also connote verbal contention or the disruptive quality of excessive sound, and it remains a standard character in both traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems, where its phonetic component "曹" contributes to its pronunciation.
