U+8B7E "譾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

譾

U+8B7E "譾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and traditional Chinese character, also used in Japanese as a kokuji, which primarily means "shallow" or "superficial" in both knowledge and depth, often connoting a lack of thoroughness or humility. It is composed of the radical "言" (speech or words) on the left and a phonetic component "剪" (to cut or trim) on the right, reflecting its historical use in classical texts to describe someone with limited understanding or a person who speaks without deep insight. This character is not commonly used in modern everyday language but appears in literary or scholarly contexts, sometimes as a variant of other characters like "謭" or "淺," and it carries a slightly pejorative tone when referring to intellectual shallowness.
