U+56CB "囋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

囋

U+56CB "囋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily means "to chatter" or "to prattle" and is often used in classical texts to describe noisy, incessant talking or clamor. This ideograph is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the outside, suggesting utterance or speech, and the phonetic component "赞" (to praise or to help) inside, though its modern usage is extremely limited and it is not found in common vocabulary. In historical contexts, it appears in works like the Kangxi Dictionary and some ancient literary passages, where it conveys a sense of disruptive or irrelevant babble rather than meaningful dialogue.
