U+5693 "嚓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as an onomatopoeic word, often used to represent a sharp, cracking, or scratching sound, such as the noise of breaking something or a sudden snap. In modern Chinese usage, it appears in words like "咔嚓" (kā chā), which mimics the sound of scissors cutting, a twig breaking, or a camera shutter clicking. The character is composed of the radical "口" (mouth, indicating sound or speech) and the phonetic component "察" (chá), reflecting its sound-based meaning. It is classified as a Han character and is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block in the Unicode standard.
