U+5639 "嘹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嘹
U+5639 "嘹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "clear" or "resonant," often used to describe a loud and melodious sound, such as the singing of birds or the ringing of a bell. It is composed of the mouth radical (口) on the left, which relates to speech or sound, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation "liáo" in Mandarin. This character appears in classical and modern Chinese literature to evoke clear, far-reaching auditory imagery, and it is sometimes used in compound words like "嘹亮" (liáo liàng) meaning "loud and clear." While not among the most common characters in daily usage, it holds a specific poetic and descriptive function in the written language.
