噑 Compatibility Form

79/542

噑 belongs to a Chinese character family for howls and loud cries; it is a compatibility spelling, not a new everyday word. It survives so text from Taiwan’s CNS 11643 set can convert to Unicode and back without losing its original character.

Text symbol

What 噑 means

Read 噑 as 噑, a variant of 嗥 meaning “howl” or “wail.”

The Eastern Han dictionary Shuowen Jiezi already glossed 嗥 as a roar. The same animal-call sense remains in modern Chinese.

Unicode keeps 噑 for Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 plane 7, so round-trip conversion preserves the source character. The mapped form is 噑; 噑 UFE00 records its distinct glyph.

Does Unicode normalization change 噑?

Yes. NFC and NFD map 噑 to 噑. To retain its distinct glyph, use the standardized sequence 噑 followed by UFE00.
