U+8852 "衒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
衒
U+8852 "衒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to show off, flaunt, or display ostentatiously, often carrying a slightly negative connotation of boastful or deceptive self-promotion. It is composed of the radical 行 (meaning "walk" or "go") on the outside, which suggests movement or behavior, and a phonetic or semantic component inside that relates to display. Historically found in classical Chinese texts, this character can also imply the act of peddling goods while exaggerating their value, linking it to both commercial bragging and vain personal exhibition.
