## Translingual

| Traditional | 響 |
| Simplified | 响 |
| Japanese | 響 |
| Korean | 響 |

### Alternative forms

* Note that Japanese shinjitai replaces 鄉 with 郷, dropping the top stroke on 良 and instead drawing 艮.
* The Korean form replaces 鄉 with 鄕, with 皀 in the middle instead of 良.
* Due to Han unification, Chinese, Japanese and Korean forms are encoded under the same code point.
* Two unicode z-variants exist. U+FA69 corresponds to its Kangxi Dictionary form, which is also the kyūjitai form while U+FACA corresponds to its shinjitai form.

    On frosty mornings, the sky clear at dawn, the woods and mountain brooks are shrouded in a desolate chill and stillness. High above, apes and monkeys oft let out prolonged cries, echoing one after another, piercingly sorrowful. The empty valleys reverberate with their mournful wails, lingering in the air for a long time before fading away.
