U+567C "噼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+567C "噼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used as an onomatopoeic element to represent sharp, cracking sounds, such as the crackle of fire, the snap of a whip, or the pop of fireworks. It is often found in compound words like "噼啪" (pīpā), which mimics a continuous popping or snapping noise, and is commonly employed in descriptive writing and comic dialogue to convey sudden, loud sounds. Structurally, it combines the mouth radical "口" on the left, indicating its phonetic or sound-related nature, with the phonetic component "辟" on the right. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is encoded for use across multiple East Asian writing systems, though it appears most frequently in traditional and simplified Chinese texts.
