Unicode Version 17.0
訡
U+8A21 "訡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that falls under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, historically used in classical and modern Chinese writing. Its primary meaning relates to "to sing" or "to recite," often associated with vocal expression or chanting, and it can also carry connotations of oral tradition or the act of reading aloud. This character is composed of the radical 言 (speech) on the left, indicating a connection to spoken or vocal activity, and the phonetic component 今 (now, present) on the right, which helps suggest its pronunciation. While not commonly used in everyday modern Chinese, "訡" appears in certain literary, historical, or poetic contexts where refined or archaic language is preferred.
