U+8B26 "謦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8B26 "謦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is historically notable for its use in classical literary texts and written Chinese. This character is composed of elements relating to sound or speech, as indicated by its radical, and is generally understood to mean "to cough lightly" or "to clear one's throat," often implying a subtle act of vocal preparation or attention-getting. It appears in traditional and simplified Chinese scripts and is classified under the Kangxi radical for words or speech, making it an example of a more specialized or less frequently used ideogram in modern everyday language, but one that retains significance in the study of classical literature and historical linguistics.
