U+8B36 "謶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8B36 "謶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character found in classical texts, typically used as a variant of the character 諑, which means to slander or to make false accusations, though it also carries a secondary meaning related to making inquiries or discussing something. Its structure combines the radical 言 (speech) with the phonetic component 庶 (common or numerous), indicating its pronunciation in Middle Chinese, which is reconstructed as something like "drak" or "zhuo" in modern Mandarin. This character appears in historical dictionaries such as the Kangxi Dictionary, but it is not commonly used in contemporary Chinese writing.
