U+8B5D "譝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

譝

U+8B5D "譝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obscure Chinese character (hanzi) that is primarily used in classical or literary contexts rather than in modern everyday language. Pronounced variously depending on the dialect and historical period, it is generally understood to relate to or imply the concept of a kind of cleverness, flattery, or the ability to speak skillfully and persuasively, often with a negative connotation of deceit or sycophancy. Its structure combines a speech or words radical on the left with a phonetic component on the right, and it is not commonly found in standard modern dictionaries or texts, making it a specialized character for experts in ancient Chinese literature or epigraphy.
