Usage notes

• This character derives from 即, with an added mouth radical to indicate onomatopoeia. It is used in the Poem of Mulan to represent the click-clack or swoosh-woosh of Mulan's weaving. In the version published in The Flowering Plum and the Palace Lady: Interpretations of Chinese Poetry, by Han H. Frankel, Yale University Press (1976), this is transcribed as tsiek-tsiek.
