About
A phono-semantic compound, 唿 pairs the mouth radical 口 on the left, marking it as a sound produced with the mouth, with the phonetic component 忽 (hū) on the right to indicate the pronunciation "hu". It describes a sharp whistling sound or the act of blowing air rapidly, and often appears onomatopoeically for the rushing of wind, swift motion through air, or sudden exhalations.
