U+8AB4 "誴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
誴
U+8AB4 "誴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historical Chinese character that appears in classical texts, particularly in reference to ancient personal names or as a variant form of other characters. Its composition combines the "speech" or "words" radical (言) with the phonetic component "宗" (zōng), suggesting a meaning related to speech or verbal expression, though its precise definition is obscure and it is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese. In the Unicode standard, it belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes characters from East Asian scripts, and it is typically displayed in specialized fonts or legacy databases rather than everyday writing systems.
