U+8AFF "諿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

諿

U+8AFF "諿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character belonging to the traditional Han script set, specifically classified under the radical for speech or words (言, yán) on the left side, combined with the phonetic component 咠 on the right. Its pronunciation is reconstructed as qì or xù in Mandarin, though its exact historical usage is obscure, and it is not commonly found in modern texts. The character is thought to relate to the act of speaking in a clamorous or quarrelsome manner, possibly meaning to blame or reproach, drawing on classical Chinese lexicons such as the Shuowen Jiezi. As a rarely used ideograph, its inclusion in Unicode serves primarily to preserve historical and philological records rather than to support everyday communication.
