U+8AA1 "誡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

誡

U+8AA1 "誡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "warn," "admonish," or "caution," and is used in both Classical and Modern Chinese, as well as in Japanese (where it can be read as "imashimeru" or "kai") and Korean (where it is read as "gye"). This character combines the radical for "speech" or "words" (言) on the left, indicating its relation to verbal expression, with the phonetic component 戒 (jiè) on the right, which itself carries the meaning of "to guard against" or "to forbid." As a result, 誡 conveys the concept of issuing a spoken warning or setting a precept, appearing in traditional texts, moral admonitions, and religious contexts, such as in Buddhist scriptures where it refers to precepts or commandments.
