U+5508 "唈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5508 "唈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and largely obsolete Chinese character that historically carried meanings related to sighing, choking, or a sudden interruption of breath, often implying a suppressed or sorrowful emotional state. Found in classical Chinese texts rather than modern usage, it combines the mouth radical (口) with the phonetic component 邑 (yì), and its pronunciations in Middle Chinese and modern Mandarin readings have been reconstructed as something like "yì" or "è" in some contexts. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that this obscure but historically attested glyph can be digitally preserved and accessed for scholarly work, such as in the study of ancient poetry or historical linguistics.
