Source: Browser Default
U+552C "唬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of bluffing, intimidating, or frightening someone, often through verbal or deceptive means. In modern usage, it is commonly found in the word "嚇唬" (xiàhu), meaning to scare or threaten, and it carries a connotation of creating a false sense of danger to manipulate or unsettle others. Historically, the character's composition combines the radical "口" (mouth) with the phonetic component "虎" (tiger), suggesting the act of roaring like a tiger to instill fear. This compound structure reflects its semantic link to both sound and ferocity, making it a vivid term for expressions of trickery or hollow threats in written and spoken Chinese.
