Unicode Version 17.0
诌
U+8BCC "诌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in modern Mandarin, where it functions as a verb meaning "to fabricate" or "to make up," often in the context of concocting a story or speaking nonsense. It belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is classified under the radical for speech (讠), reflecting its association with verbal expression. The character appears in simplified Chinese scripts and is commonly encountered in colloquial phrases like "胡诌" (hú zhōu), which means to talk nonsense or ramble wildly. Its stroke count and structure derive from the traditional form 謅, and it is encoded for use in digital text to represent this specific communicative nuance.
