謗
U+8B17 "謗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "to slander," "to defame," or "to speak ill of others." Composed of the radical for "speech" (言) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, this ideograph reflects the act of using words to harm someone's reputation. It is used in both classical and modern Chinese, as well as in Japanese (where it is also pronounced "hō" or "soshiru") and Korean, often appearing in formal or literary contexts to describe malicious gossip or false accusations.
