<p>"Choong!" is the sound of something taking off or being launched. I'm trying to find out if there is a character for this sound as "choong" is not used for any regular character.</p>

<p>Not to be confused with 冲, the oo sound is long and more like the "u" in put rather than "oo" in spoon.</p>

"Choong!" is the sound of something taking off or being launched. I'm trying to find out if there is a character for this sound as "choong" is not used for any regular character.

Not to be confused with 冲, the oo sound is long and more like the "u" in put rather than "oo" in spoon.
