U+5578 "啸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5578 "啸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means to whistle, to howl, or to make a long, loud, and piercing sound, often used to describe the wind, animals like tigers or wolves, or a person whistling as a signal. It is composed of the radical "口" (mouth) on the left and the phonetic component "肃" (solemn) on the right, which together convey the idea of a sharp or resonant sound produced from the mouth. This character appears in classical literature, such as in the idiom "虎啸龙吟" (tiger howl and dragon chant), symbolizing power and majesty, and it is also used in modern contexts like "呼啸" (to whistle or roar, as with a strong wind).
