U+8A40 "詀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
詀
U+8A40 "詀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in traditional and simplified writing systems, though it is considered a rare or archaic character. Its primary meanings include "to babble," "to chatter," or "to talk nonsense," often conveying a sense of idle or foolish speech. In composition, it belongs to the radical "言" (speech) and the phonetic component "占," which helps suggest its pronunciation. Historically, it appears in some classical Chinese texts, but it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin, with usage more likely to be encountered in literary or historical contexts.
