U+55B3 "喳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character in the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, meaning it is used across multiple East Asian writing systems. In Chinese, the character is pronounced as "zhā" or "chā" and primarily functions as an onomatopoeic word, representing a chirping, chattering, or noisy sound, such as birds twittering or people talking in a lively, often indistinct manner. It commonly appears in words like "嘁嘁喳喳" (qīqichāchā), which describes the sound of whispering or low, rapid conversation. Additionally, in some contexts it can carry a neutral or mildly derogatory connotation when referring to loud, trivial talk.
