U+8B27 "謧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

謧

U+8B27 "謧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character (hànzì) primarily used in historical or classical texts, with its structure combining the "speech" radical (言) on the left and a phonetic component related to the sound "lí" on the right. Its traditional meanings often revolve around deceit, cunning speech, or words that are crafty and misleading, though it may also appear in older literary contexts to denote a type of elaborate or embellished language. Because of its obscurity, this character is seldom encountered in modern Chinese writing and is more likely to be found in dictionaries or specialized studies of archaic vocabulary.
