U+8044 "聄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8044 "聄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and largely obsolete Chinese character that appears in ancient or classical texts, where it is typically used as a variant form of the character 震, meaning "to shake" or "to tremble." Its composition combines the radical for "ear" (耳) on the left, indicating a connection to hearing or the ear, with a phonetic component on the right that suggests the pronunciation close to "zhèn" in Mandarin. In modern standard Chinese, this character is virtually absent from everyday usage, making it a subject primarily of interest for historical linguistics, calligraphy, or the study of variant character forms in East Asian orthography.
