U+8B81 "讁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

讁

U+8B81 "讁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that appears in classical or historical texts, where it is used to convey the meaning of blaming, reprimanding, or finding fault with someone, often with a connotation of authoritative or righteous censure. Composed of the radical for "speech" or "words" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, this logograph belongs to the Han script family and is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, though it sees little to no use in modern standard Chinese writing. Its principal historical application lies in literary or legalistic contexts, where it functions as a synonym for more common terms of rebuke, reflecting the nuanced vocabulary of classical Confucian and official discourse.
