U+8ACF "諏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

諏

U+8ACF "諏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese and Korean, where it is read as "su" in on'yomi and is used primarily as a component in place names, personal names, and classical literary contexts. Its core meaning relates to the act of consulting or taking counsel, specifically seeking advice or inquiring with deliberation, as seen in the classical Chinese term "諏询" (zōu xún). Structurally, it is a phono-semantic compound combining the "speech" radical (言) with the phonetic element "取" (qǔ). While not common in modern everyday usage, it retains historical significance in East Asian classical texts and remains part of the standardized CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph repertoire.
