U+565C "噜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
噜
U+565C "噜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a phonetic component in the transliteration of foreign names and sounds, often appearing in informal or colloquial contexts such as "呼噜" for snoring or "嘟噜" describing a dangling cluster. Its structure combines the radical "口" meaning mouth, suggesting its connection to utterances or noises, with the phonetic element "鲁," though its core meaning is not strongly tied to a specific semantic concept in classical texts. In modern usage, the character is frequently employed in onomatopoeic expressions and loanwords, adding a lively or descriptive quality to spoken language rather than conveying a precise abstract idea.
