U+8BDF "诟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8BDF "诟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to scold," "to revile," or "shame," often used in the context of verbally berating someone or expressing disgrace. In classical and modern Chinese, it appears in words like "诟骂" (to curse) and "诟病" (to criticize or condemn), with the latter carrying a sense of stigmatization or denunciation. The character combines the radical "言" (speech) on the left, indicating its connection to language or speaking, and the component "后" on the right, which provides a phonetic hint. This character is defined under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, part of the Unicode standard that encompasses characters for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, ensuring digital representation for a wide range of East Asian texts.
