U+8B92 "讒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

讒

U+8B92 "讒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of slander, backbiting, or malicious gossip, often used in the context of speaking ill of someone behind their back or causing discord through false words. This ideograph is composed of a speech or words radical on the left side, emphasizing the act of speaking, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation. In classical Chinese texts, it frequently appears in moral or political writings to describe the destructive behavior of sycophants or deceitful officials who spread harmful rumors. While less common in modern simplified Chinese, where it is often replaced by similar characters, "讒" remains an important part of traditional Chinese script, preserving a nuanced concept of verbal betrayal and social harm within its historical and literary usage.
