U+8AF6 "諶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
諶
U+8AF6 "諶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that means "sincerity," "honesty," or "to trust," and it is also used as a surname. In modern usage, it appears primarily in Classical Chinese texts and personal names, with its simplified counterpart being "谌." The character is composed of the radical "言" (speech) on the left, indicating a connection to words or speaking, and the phonetic component "甚" (very, extremely) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "chén" in Mandarin. It falls under the CJK Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode standard and is encoded for use in digital texts requiring coverage of traditional Chinese writing systems.
