U+5612 "嘒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嘒
U+5612 "嘒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both classical and literary contexts, primarily meaning a soft, faint, or whispering sound, often associated with the gentle chirping of insects or the murmur of a small voice. Its structure combines the mouth radical (口) on the left, indicating speech or sound, with the phonetic component "歲" (suì) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and meaning. In classical texts, such as the "Book of Songs" (Shijing), it appears in the phrase "嘒嘒管聲" to describe the faint sound of reed pipes. Although less common in modern Chinese, it is occasionally seen in poetry or historical writings to evoke delicate auditory imagery.
