Source: Browser Default
U+55E9 "嗩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that corresponds to the simplified form "唢" and is used in the term "suona," which refers to a traditional Chinese double reed horn or trumpet often played at festivals, weddings, and theatrical performances. This ideograph belongs to the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified character set and is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) on the left, suggesting sound or speech, and the phonetic component "suo" on the right. In modern usage, it primarily serves as a noun for the instrument itself, with its visual form reflecting the noisy, celebratory nature of the suona's piercing tone.
