U+8ADB "諛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
諛
U+8ADB "諛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in traditional and classical texts, where it denotes the act of flattery or sycophantic praise, often implying insincere or excessive adulation directed toward a superior. This ideograph is composed of the radical for speech or words on the left side, reflecting its association with verbal expression, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation in Mandarin as "yú." It appears in historical literary works and philosophical writings, such as those from the Warring States period, where it frequently carries a negative moral connotation, warning against the corrupting influence of flattery in governance and personal relationships.
