How to Write 嘣 (bēng) — Meaning “bang; pop”

Imagine a mouth (口) saying "bēng!" as a mountain (山) collapses on top of two friends (朋). The combined image of a loud pop from a crumbling mountain helps link the sound and structure.

The left radical 口 should be small and positioned high. Pay attention to the right component 崩: write the top part 山 with three strokes, then below it write 朋 with eight strokes, keeping both halves balanced and not too wide.

嘣 is an onomatopoeic word for "bang" or "pop," while 啻 (chì) is a literary word meaning "only" and has a different right component (帝). 㕡 is an extremely rare archaic character and is not used in modern Chinese, whereas 嘣 is common in everyday speech.

嘣 is used as an onomatopoeia for sudden popping sounds, like firecrackers or crispy food breaking. It appears in words like 嘣脆 (very crispy) and 嘣嘣 (thumping heartbeat). In casual conversation, it vividly describes sharp, explosive noises.

Common words containing 嘣 include: 嘣 (bēng) — bang; pop; 嘣脆 (bēng cuì) — very crispy; crunchy; 嘣嘣 (bēng bēng) — thumping; pounding.
