Chinese character 㗫

It describes a whisper or quiet speech.

The 玉篇, an early Chinese dictionary, glosses 㗫 as “small speech”; 說文, another early dictionary, does not include 㗫. Later lexicons connect it with 𧫕 and 詧; one also gives a sense of speaking directly.

A Tang poem uses 㗫㗫 in 鏡聽 (“mirror listening”), a divination rite where someone listens for an omen about an absent husband's return; the repeated form conveys murmuring. This is a literary use, not an origin story.
