Definition
嗵 is an onomatopoeia for a heavy, dull thudding sound — like a drum being struck, a heavy object falling, or a loud knock on a door. You can use it on its own as an exclamation (嗵！) or as a modifier before a verb (嗵的一声). It's a literary or descriptive sound word, not used in everyday conversation.
