Unicode Version 17.0
誥
U+8AA5 "誥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (simplified as 诰) that primarily denotes an imperial edict or admonition, a formal proclamation or instructive announcement issued by an emperor or high authority in historical East Asian contexts. Its semantic components combine the "speech" radical (言) with the phonetic element "告" (to tell or announce), reinforcing its meaning of a verbal command or solemn pronouncement. In classical Chinese texts and modern usage, it often appears in terms like "誥命" (imperial mandate) or "誥封" (to confer a title by imperial decree), reflecting its deep roots in governance, ritual, and legal documentation within the Chinese writing system.
