U+8A58 "詘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8A58 "詘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used primarily in historical or classical Chinese texts, as well as in Japanese and Korean contexts, where it carries the meanings of "to yield," "to submit," "to bend," or "to be subdued," often implying a sense of coercion or defeat. Composed of the radical for "speech" (言) on the left and the phonetic component 出 (chū) on the right, its usage is largely archaic in modern Mandarin, though it occasionally appears in formal or literary works. In Korean Hanja, it similarly denotes bowing or capitulation, while in Japanese it is recognized as a hyōgai kanji (outside the regular-use set) with the same core semantic nuance, reflecting a cultural heritage of Confucian and legalistic concepts related to deference and order.
