U+5636 "嘶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嘶
U+5636 "嘶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to neigh" or "to hiss," often associated with the sound produced by horses. It is composed of the mouth radical (口) on the left, indicating a sound, and the phonetic component 斯 (sī) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. This character appears in classical and modern Chinese literature to describe the whinnying of a horse, but can also be used metaphorically for a hoarse or rasping human voice, or for the hissing sound of steam or gas. Its usage extends to compound words such as 嘶啞 (sīyǎ, meaning hoarse) and 嘶鳴 (sīmíng, meaning to neigh), reflecting its consistent association with vocal or auditory phenomena.
