U+5676 "噶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

噶

U+5676 "噶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in written Mandarin, often functioning as a transliteration symbol for foreign sounds, most notably in the common onomatopoeic expression “噶” (gá) used to represent a sudden, sharp sound like a snap or crack, as well as in the word “噶举” (Gājǔ), referring to the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. It can also appear in loanwords and place names, and in some regional dialects it carries additional colloquial meanings. The character itself is composed of the radical “口” (mouth) and a phonetic component, reflecting its role in sound representation.
