U+8B9A "讚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
讚
U+8B9A "讚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to praise," "to commend," or "to admire," and it is often used in formal or literary contexts to express approval or admiration for someone's actions, virtues, or achievements. This character is composed of a radical meaning "words" or "speech" (訁) combined with a phonetic component (賛), reflecting its semantic connection to verbal or written expression of praise. It is distinct from its simplified counterpart "赞," though both share the same core meaning. In modern usage, "讚" also appears in the term "按讚" (to "like" or "thumb up" on social media), bridging its classical meaning with contemporary digital culture.
