U+8B20 "謠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
謠
U+8B20 "謠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "rumor," "gossip," or "ballad," and it is composed of the radical for "speech" (言) combined with the phonetic component "謠" itself, often used in contexts involving unverified information or folk songs. In traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji usage, it appears in words like "謠言" (yáoyán) meaning "rumor" or "謠曲" (yōkyoku) referring to Noh theater songs, although in simplified Chinese it is represented by the character "谣". Its structure reflects the blending of spoken language with creative or deceptive narratives, making it significant in texts about communication, folklore, and social misinformation.
