U+8B98 "讘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
讘
U+8B98 "讘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block. Its primary meaning relates to speech or verbal exchange, specifically denoting an act of speaking or chattering, often with a connotation of verbose or aimless talk. The character is composed of the radical "言" (speech) on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic link to language and its pronunciation, which is approximated as "zhé" or "niè" in modern Mandarin. While it appears in classical Chinese texts, it is not commonly encountered in contemporary writing, making it a more obscure element of the written language corpus.
