U+5642 "噂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
噂
U+5642 "噂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "rumor" or "gossip," and it is composed of the radical for "mouth" (口) on the left and the phonetic component "尊" (zūn) on the right, which contributes the sound and a connotation of respect or reverence. In Chinese, it is read as zǔn and appears in classical texts with meanings related to whispering or murmuring, while in Japanese it is read as "うわさ" (uwasa) and frequently used in modern contexts to refer to hearsay or unverified talk. The character thus represents the concept of spoken words that may circulate informally, often with a neutral to slightly negative nuance depending on usage.
