U+5624 "嘤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嘤
U+5624 "嘤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the onomatopoeic sound of a bird chirping or the gentle, low sound of crying or sobbing, often used in classical and modern Chinese literature to convey a soft, plaintive quality. It is composed of the radical for "mouth" (口) on the left, indicating its connection to sound, and the phonetic component "央" on the right. In usage, it appears in words like "嘤嘤" (yīng yīng), mimicking the faint calls of birds or the soft weeping of a person, and is also found in formal names and poetic texts to evoke a sense of delicate sound or emotion.
