U+8BBD "讽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8BBD "讽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to satirize, mock, or recite in a chanting manner, and it is composed of the radical for speech or words on the left and the phonetic component "风" on the right, which contributes the sound "feng" in Mandarin. This character is commonly used in words such as "讽刺" (fěngcì, meaning satire or irony) and "讽喻" (fěngyù, meaning allegory or parable), and it carries a nuanced tone of indirect criticism or subtle admonition in both classical and modern Chinese texts. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a fundamental building block for written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it can appear in literary, journalistic, and everyday contexts to convey sharpness or wit through language.
