Unicode Version 17.0

諡

U+8AE1 "諡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily denotes a posthumous title or honorary name bestowed upon a deceased person, often a ruler, noble, or esteemed individual, to reflect their life's achievements and character in East Asian cultures, particularly within historical Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts. This character is composed of radical components related to speech and the act of bestowing, and it appears in classical texts and historical records as a key term for ritual naming practices. In modern usage, it is less common in everyday language but remains significant in scholarly discussions of historiography, genealogy, and traditional etiquette, preserving a cultural tradition of honoring the dead through carefully chosen appellations.
