U+8B5E "譞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8B5E "譞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to intelligence, cleverness, or wisdom, often associated with the idea of being eloquent or possessing a sharp, insightful nature in speech. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which encompasses characters shared across East Asian writing systems. In classical Chinese texts, "譞" appears infrequently, sometimes as a variant or substitute for more common characters like "慧" (wisdom) or "贤" (virtuous), though its modern usage is largely obsolete. Its structure combines the radical "言" (speech) on the left with the phonetic component "萱" (a type of daylily) on the right, suggesting a conceptual link between verbal expression and clarity of thought.
