U+5628 "嘨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嘨
U+5628 "嘨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in traditional and simplified writing. It is a variant form of the more common character 嘯 (xiào), which primarily means to whistle, roar, or howl, often describing a long, loud, and forceful sound made by the mouth, wind, or animals. In classical texts, this character can also carry connotations of a sudden, sharp exclamation or a natural phenomenon like a "howling" wind. While less frequently encountered in modern everyday text, it appears in literary, historical, or calligraphic contexts as an alternative glyph for its base character.
