U+5623 "嘣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5623 "嘣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a phonetic and onomatopoeic sound, often used in Mandarin to mimic a loud, explosive noise, such as a bang, boom, or pop. It is not one of the most common or foundational characters in everyday Chinese writing but appears in colloquial expressions, comic books, or sound effects in media to convey sudden, sharp impacts. Structurally, it is formed with the mouth radical "口" on the left, indicating its connection to sound or speech, and the phonetic component "崩" on the right, which itself means "to collapse" or "burst," reinforcing the character's connotation of a rupturing or percussive event.
