About
The character 噔 is a phono-semantic compound formed by the semantic component 口, which associates it with sound, and the phonetic component 登, from which it derives its pronunciation. This character was created to function as an onomatopoeic graph representing sounds like a heavy thud or a dull impact, such as from footsteps or falling objects. Its structure follows the conventional pattern of combining a meaning radical with a phonetic element to produce a new character for auditory expressions, and it has served this specific purpose since its formation.
