U+8B22 "謢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
謢
U+8B22 "謢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character (hanzi) classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which is traditionally pronounced "hù" in Mandarin. Its primary meaning is associated with the concept of guarding, protecting, or caring for someone, and it is often considered a variant or archaic form of the more common character "護" (also meaning "to protect"). The character is composed of a radical related to speech or words on the left side and a phonetic component on the right, though it is not frequently encountered in modern texts, appearing instead in historical or specialized literary contexts.
