Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+554B "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as an exclamation or interjection in vernacular contexts, often conveying surprise, disdain, or dismissal, similar to the English exclamation "bah!" or "pshaw!" It is less common in modern standard written Chinese but appears in historical novels and dialectal usage, particularly in expressions like "啋, 休得胡说" meaning "Bah, stop talking nonsense." The character is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left, indicating speech or sound, and "菜" (vegetable or dish) on the right as a phonetic component, reflecting its role in representing a spoken utterance rather than a concrete object.
