U+8BF1 "诱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
诱
U+8BF1 "诱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to entice," "to lure," "to seduce," or "to guide," often carrying a connotation of coaxing or leading someone astray. It is composed of the radical 讠 (speech or words) on the left, which suggests a verbal or communicative action, and the phonetic component 秀 (meaning elegant or beautiful) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "yòu." This ideograph is commonly used in modern Standard Chinese in words like 诱惑 (yòuhuò, meaning temptation or seduction) and 诱导 (yòudǎo, meaning to guide or induce), and it appears in both everyday language and literary contexts to describe persuasive or misleading influence.
