U+8A98 "誘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
誘
U+8A98 "誘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (also used in Japanese as a kanji and historically in Korean Hanja) that primarily means "to entice," "to lure," or "to seduce." Its composition combines the radical for "speech" (言) on the left, suggesting verbal persuasion, with a phonetic component on the right, and is often found in words related to temptation, inducement, or guidance, such as in the term "誘惑" (yūwaku in Japanese, meaning "temptation"). This character conveys both neutral connotations of drawing someone in and more negative implications of leading them astray, making it a versatile glyph in conveying nuance within written East Asian languages.
