U+566A "噪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
噪
U+566A "噪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "noise," "clamor," or "to chirp," and it is composed of the radical for "mouth" (口) combined with the phonetic component "喿" which suggests a sound or gathering. In modern usage, it appears in words like "噪音" (zàoyīn, meaning "noise") and "聒噪" (guōzào, meaning "raucous" or "garrulous"), often conveying a sense of unpleasant or chaotic sound. Historically, the character has been used in classical texts to describe the chirping of birds or the buzz of insects, and it remains a common element in both written Chinese and Japanese (where it is read as "sō" in on'yomi, as in the term "騒音" for noise).
