U+8B4E "譎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8B4E "譎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (simplified as 谲) that primarily conveys the meanings of cunning, deceit, or treachery, often describing sly or crafty behavior in classical and modern Chinese texts. Its structure combines the "言" (speech) radical, indicating a connection to words or language, with a phonetic component that suggests its pronunciation. Historically, this character appears in literary works and idioms, such as the phrase "詭譎多變" meaning "cunning and changeable," to emphasize duplicity or unpredictable schemes. In Unicode, it is encoded under the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is used in both Traditional Chinese and Japanese writing systems, typically in formal or literary contexts. The radical and stroke count help distinguish it from other ideographs, making it a specific term for describing deceptive actions or personalities.
