U+8656 "虖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
虖
U+8656 "虖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used traditional Chinese character that historically represents a tiger's roar or a cry of distress, and it is composed of the "tiger" radical (虍) combined with the phonetic component 乎 (hū). In classical Chinese texts, it often appears as an onomatopoeic word for a shout or a call, and it also functions as a variant or archaic form of the modern character 呼 (hū), meaning to exhale, shout, or summon. Its usage is largely confined to ancient literature, poetry, or specialized philological contexts, and it is not part of standard modern Chinese vocabulary.
