U+8A56 "詖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

詖

U+8A56 "詖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, with its simplified form being "诐". This character is composed of the radical for "speech" or "words" (言) on the left and the phonetic component "皮" (skin or leather) on the right. Its primary meanings in classical and modern Chinese include "to argue," "to dispute," or "to be biased," often carrying a connotation of speaking with partiality or cunning persuasion. In historical texts, it appears in contexts related to rhetoric and sophistry, and it is occasionally used in literary works to describe elaborate but deceptive speech. While not common in everyday modern language, it remains a recognized glyph in Unicode for scholarly, typographic, and linguistic purposes.
