U+56C2 "囂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+56C2 "囂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient and complex Chinese character composed of multiple mouth radicals arranged around a central element, typically meaning "noise," "clamor," or "to be boisterous." In classical Chinese texts, such as the records of the Warring States period, it often describes loud, chaotic sounds or unrestrained loudness. This character has also historically been used to refer to arrogant or aggressive behavior, reflecting its semantic roots in social disruption. Recognized within the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it remains a prominent but less commonly used character in modern Chinese, where it continues to appear in formal literary contexts and historical writing.
