U+569F "嚟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嚟
U+569F "嚟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a colloquial Cantonese word, often used to mean "to come" or as a grammatical particle indicating direction or arrival, equivalent to the Mandarin Chinese "來" (lái) but with distinct phonetic and regional usage. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its role in representing sounds in Cantonese writing rather than a standard Mandarin logogram. While not commonly used in formal written Chinese, it appears frequently in informal text, Cantonese opera transcriptions, and transliterations of foreign names or places, highlighting its specialized role in capturing the spoken Cantonese language in written form.
