U+5474 "呴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5474 "呴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in classical texts, primarily functioning as a verb meaning to exhale slowly, to breathe forth, or to utter a soft, warm breath, often in contexts related to nurturing or calming, such as in the phrase "呴呴" which describes the gentle breathing of a parent over a child or the slow exhalation in Daoist meditation practices. Its structure combines the mouth radical (口) with a phonetic component (句), and it appears in early Chinese literature like the Zhuangzi or Han-era commentaries, though it is rarely used in modern Mandarin, having largely been replaced by more common characters meaning "to exhale" or "to warm with breath".
