U+5604 "嘄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5604 "嘄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used in various East Asian languages, primarily in classical or poetic texts, where it represents the concept of a loud cry or shout, often associated with calling out or exclaiming with force. This character is composed of the radical “口” (kǒu, meaning mouth) on the left, indicating speech or sound, and the phonetic component “皋” (gāo) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In modern usage, “嘄” is quite rare, having largely been replaced by more common characters like “叫” (jiào) for shouting, but it retains significance in historical literature and traditional Chinese dictionaries, where it exemplifies the rich semantic complexity of the CJK writing system.
