U+8B0B "謋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

謋

U+8B0B "謋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily appears in classical texts rather than modern usage. Pronounced roughly as "huò" in Mandarin, this logograph is composed of the radical for speech or words (言) on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right that suggests a meaning related to a sudden or impulsive sound, such as the sound of flesh being cut or bones cracking. Its semantic range ties closely to concepts of abruptness, division, or a sharp noise, often appearing in ancient literary descriptions of physical actions or auditory imagery. Due to its obscurity, the character is not commonly found in everyday Chinese writing, but it holds interest for scholars of historical linguistics and classical Chinese literature.
