U+8A8E "誎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8A8E "誎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that belongs to the Han script block used for East Asian languages. It is composed of the radical for "speech" (言) on the left and the phonetic component 束 (shù, meaning "to bind" or "a bundle") on the right, though its exact meaning in classical or modern Chinese is obscure and not widely attested in standard dictionaries. Typically, such characters appear only in historical or specialized texts, often representing loanwords, variant forms, or obsolete terms. As a result, "誎" has no common usage in contemporary Mandarin, Japanese, or Korean, and its function is primarily archival within the Unicode standard.
