Character Story & Explanation
欻 (chuā) is an onomatopoeic character used to describe a sudden, explosive sound, like something crashing or ripping. Rare in daily speech, it appears in comic books or informal writing. Its radical 欠 suggests an open mouth, linking to sound. The other pronunciation xū refers to a sudden action, but chuā is more common for sound effects.
