噯
U+566F "噯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) traditionally pronounced as "ǎi" in Mandarin, which functions as an interjection expressing surprise, regret, or a gentle reminder, similar to "alas" or "oh" in English. It can also be used as a verb meaning to belch or sigh, and in classical texts, it appears as a phonetic component in various compounds. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is primarily used in written Chinese, though it is less common in modern everyday usage and often replaced by simpler alternatives.
