U+5651 "噑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5651 "噑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that appears in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, representing an ancient or less common glyph. Its composition typically combines the mouth radical (口) on the left, suggesting speech or sound, with a phonetic component on the right that relates to the concept of shouting or calling out. Historically, this character is a variant form of the more standard character 嘷 (or 嚎), which means to howl, wail, or roar, especially in contexts involving animals or loud, mournful cries. While it is rarely used in modern everyday Chinese writing, it may be encountered in classical texts, literature, or specific dialects, preserving a nuanced sense of vocal expression.
