U+8B94 "讔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

讔

U+8B94 "讔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily means "to answer" or "to respond," often carrying a connotation of a hidden or implied reply, as well as being associated with the concept of a riddle or a cryptic response. This character is composed of the speech radical 言 (yán) on the left and the phonetic component 隐 (yǐn, meaning hidden or secret) on the right, reflecting its semantic ties to concealed or indirect communication. In classical Chinese literature, it appears infrequently and is considered a variant or archaic form, not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin, making it of greater interest to scholars of ancient texts and historical linguistics than to everyday writers.
