U+8B8F "讏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
讏
U+8B8F "讏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that belongs to the Han script block, classified under the radical for speech (言). Its primary meaning is "to slander" or "to speak ill of others," often implying malicious or false accusations. In historical texts, it appears infrequently, and its modern usage is virtually nonexistent, making it a specialized character primarily of interest to paleographers, linguists, and scholars of classical Chinese literature. The character is composed of the speech radical combined with phonetic components, yet its exact pronunciation and usage details remain obscure due to its rarity.
