U+8B43 "譃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
譃
U+8B43 "譃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character (Hanzi) that appears in historical or literary contexts, primarily in classical texts and some place names. It is composed of the radical for "speech" (言) on the left and the phonetic component "虚" (xū) on the right, which suggests a pronunciation close to xū in Mandarin. The character's meaning is obscure, often associated with notions of emptiness or pretension, and it does not appear frequently in modern Chinese or Japanese usage, making it a specialized glyph for scholars studying archaic or sinological writings.
