U+8AF7 "諷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8AF7 "諷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means to satirize, ridicule, or subtly criticize through indirect speech or allusion, and it also carries the sense of reciting or chanting in a rhythmic manner. This ideograph is composed of the radical for speech or words (言) combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its connection to verbal expression. Commonly used in classical and modern Chinese literature, it appears in contexts such as political commentary, humorous critique, and poetic recitation, where nuanced or veiled communication is intended. In Japanese, it is adopted as a kanji with similar meanings, often associated with irony or admonition. Its simplified counterpart, "讽", is used in mainland China, but the traditional form retains its full stylistic and historical significance in written Chinese.
