U+8A9F "誟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8A9F "誟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and largely obsolete Chinese character, part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, which encodes common and historical logograms used across East Asian languages. Its composition combines a speech or word radical (言) with a phonetic component (孝), and it is traditionally associated with meanings related to correctness, filial piety, or respectful speech, though its usage is extremely limited in modern texts. The character does not appear in common Chinese dictionaries or standard character sets, and it is mostly encountered in specialized historical or philological contexts, such as classical literature or ancient inscriptions. As a result, it remains an obscure glyph within the Unicode standard, lacking widespread digital or practical application.
