U+8AF1 "諱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8AF1 "諱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that fundamentally means "to avoid mentioning" or "taboo," often used in the context of naming taboos, particularly in historical East Asian cultures where the personal names of emperors, ancestors, or revered figures were avoided out of respect. This character combines the radical for "speech" or "words" with a phonetic component that suggests the idea of concealment or prohibition, echoing its primary function of signifying a subject that is forbidden to speak of directly. In traditional texts, it appears in phrases like "名諱" (personal name taboo) and is critical to understanding the practice of imperial naming customs, where alternative names or characters were substituted to uphold social and ritual propriety.
