U+56A8 "嚨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "throat" or "larynx" and is also used to denote the sound of a drum like a rolling or rumbling noise. It is a relatively rare and complex character composed of the "mouth" radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its pronunciation in both Mandarin and Cantonese.
