U+8A5F "詟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8A5F "詟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character historically used in classical texts, meaning "to speak incessantly" or "to chatter," often with a connotation of nagging or redundant talk. This ideograph combines elements related to speech and repetition, reflecting its semantic focus on excessive or tiresome verbal expression. Though seldom used in modern standard Chinese, it appears in some ancient literary works and dictionaries, serving as a historical component of the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified character set that preserves traditional East Asian script.
