U+8B31 "謱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

謱

U+8B31 "謱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that belongs to the Han script block, primarily employed in classical or literary contexts. Its pronunciation is reconstructed as "lǒu" or similar in Mandarin, and its semantic components include the speech radical "讠" combined with "婁," suggesting meanings related to repetitive or verbose speaking, often interpreted as "talkative" or "to chatter." This character does not feature prominently in modern Chinese or Japanese usage, but it may appear in historical texts or specialized dictionaries documenting archaic vocabulary. Its encoding in Unicode preserves a piece of the East Asian written tradition for scholarly and digital reference.
