U+8BE9 "诩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8BE9 "诩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily carries the meanings of "to boast," "to brag," or "to praise oneself," and it can also imply a sense of being widely known or renowned, as seen in classical texts. This character is composed of a speech radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its connection to spoken language and sound. In modern usage, it is less common than in literary or historical contexts, where it often appears in compound words like 自诩 (zìxǔ), meaning "to claim oneself as" or "to boast of being." The character belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, specifically designed to represent the common set of characters shared across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
