U+5614 "嘔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嘔
U+5614 "嘔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to vomit" or "to throw up," and it can also carry the broader sense of "to retch" or "to disgorge." In traditional and simplified Chinese, it is used in medical or colloquial contexts to describe the act of expelling stomach contents through the mouth. The character is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, suggesting an oral action, and the phonetic component "區" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "ǒu" in Mandarin. Beyond its literal meaning, "嘔" sometimes appears in figurative expressions related to forcefully bringing something up, such as a sound of disgust or a difficult release.
