U+8B87 "讇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
讇
U+8B87 "讇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character traditionally defined as meaning to flatter or to speak ingratiatingly, often in an insincere or sycophantic manner. It belongs to the broader set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographs and is classified under the radical for speech or words (言), reflecting its semantic association with verbal expression. In classical texts and dictionaries, 讇 is sometimes used interchangeably with 諂, which carries a similar meaning of fawning or adulation. While it is not common in modern Chinese usage, its appearance in historical literature and lexicons helps preserve the nuanced vocabulary of earlier written forms.
