嚘

U+5698 "嚘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that generally refers to a deep, profound, or resonant sound, often associated with sighing or groaning in ancient texts. It appears in classical Chinese literature, such as the "Shiji" (Records of the Grand Historian), where it is used to describe a sad or mournful vocal expression. The character is composed of the radical for "mouth" (口) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, indicating its connection to sound or speech.
