Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+556F "啯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in written Chinese and other East Asian languages that utilize the CJK character set, primarily representing a specific morpheme or word. Its exact meaning depends on context, but in Standard Mandarin, it is often read as "guō" and can be a component of onomatopoeic words describing swallowing or gurgling sounds. Historically, it appears in classical texts and regional vocabulary, though it is not among the most frequently used characters in modern Chinese. This character reflects the rich, logographic nature of the CJK writing system, where each symbol combines form, sound, and meaning within a long textual tradition.
