Source: Browser Default
U+5504 "唄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originally referred to a type of Buddhist chanting or hymn, derived from the Sanskrit word "pāṭha" meaning recitation. In modern usage, particularly in Japanese, it has evolved to mean "song" or "tune," most commonly appearing in the context of "shamisen" folk songs or as a surname. It is a compound character combining the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, indicating speech or sound, and the phonetic component "貝" on the right. While less common in standard Chinese today, it remains an important character in East Asian cultural and musical traditions.
