U+5687 "嚇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5687 "嚇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to scare," "to frighten," or "to threaten," and it is often used in both classical and modern East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In Mandarin Chinese, it is pronounced as "hè" or "xià," with the latter appearing in spoken contexts to express being startled or afraid, as in the common word "嚇一跳" (xià yī tiào) meaning "to be startled." The character belongs to the traditional Chinese script and is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, suggesting speech or sound, and "赫" (hè) on the right, which contributes both phonetic and semantic hints related to imposing or awe-inspiring power. Its usage spans literary works, formal writing, and everyday communication, reflecting its enduring role in expressing fear or intimidation across Sinosphere cultures.
