譸
U+8B78 "譸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the speech radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, traditionally pronounced as *zhōu* in Mandarin. Its primary meanings include deception, cheating, or swindling, and it is also associated with the idea of incantations or spells, as seen in classical texts where it can refer to a type of sorcery or false speech. This character appears in historical literature and dictionaries but is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, being largely confined to archaic or literary contexts.
