What 噿 means
A bird’s beak; it also has a bird-call sense.
噿 combines 口 (“mouth”) with 翠, its sound-bearing component; both belong to the older 卒 sound series. The Liao-dynasty Chinese character dictionary 龍龕手鑑 lists 噿 around 997. The Song-era rhyme dictionary 廣韻, which groups characters by sound, records the beak sense; 集韻 also records a bird call. The sound link is historical: the modern Mandarin readings of 噿 and 翠 differ.
Its dictionary senses are specific; an isolated message needs context.
For the everyday word “mouth” or “beak,” use 嘴.
