Unicode Version 17.0
嚎
U+568E "嚎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents a loud, prolonged cry or howl, often associated with wailing, shouting, or the roaring of animals. It is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, indicating sound or speech, and the phonetic component "豪" (háo) on the right, which contributes both to its pronunciation and meaning of grandness or intensity. In modern usage, this character appears in words like "嚎叫" (háo jiào) meaning to howl or scream, and "嚎啕大哭" (háo táo dà kū) meaning to wail loudly in grief. It holds cultural significance in describing extreme emotional outbursts or dramatic sounds, whether from humans or beasts.
