U+8B6F "譯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

譯

U+8B6F "譯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that fundamentally means "to translate" or "interpret," specifically referring to the act of rendering spoken or written language from one form into another. Its structure combines the "speech" radical (言) with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its linguistic function. Historically, this character has been used in East Asian writing systems, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, to denote both translation between languages and, in broader contexts, the deciphering of complex ideas. In modern usage, it appears in terms such as "翻譯" (fānyì), meaning translation, and remains a core element in academic, literary, and technical discussions of language conversion.
