U+56BB "嚻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嚻
U+56BB "嚻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that combines the radical for "mouth" (口) with a complex phonetic component, and it is considered a variant of the more common character "囂" (xiāo), which conveys meanings related to noise, clamor, or arrogant boasting. Historically, this character appears in classical Chinese texts, often describing loud, boastful speech or a haughty demeanor. In modern usage, it is largely obsolete, functioning primarily as a historical or calligraphic variant, and is rarely encountered outside specialized contexts such as ancient literature or character dictionaries.
