U+5615 "嘕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

嘕

U+5615 "嘕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is primarily used in classical or literary contexts, though it is rare in modern everyday language. This character is traditionally defined as a verb meaning "to laugh heartily" or "to smile broadly," often conveying a sense of joyful or unrestrained laughter. Its composition combines the "mouth" radical (口) with a phonetic component derived from the character for "salt" (咸), which suggests its historical pronunciation and semantic connection to expressive vocalizations. While not commonly found in contemporary texts, "嘕" appears in certain ancient Chinese dictionaries and poetic works, preserving a nuanced term for describing cheerful, audible amusement.
