U+8BFA "诺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8BFA "诺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character pronounced "nuò" in Mandarin, primarily meaning "promise," "assent," or "to consent," and it is frequently used in formal or respectful contexts to indicate agreement or commitment. In classical texts like the "Analects of Confucius," it appears in the famous line "君子一言，驷马难追" (a gentleman's word is hard to chase even with four horses), reinforcing its association with trustworthiness and honor. In modern usage, “诺” appears in compounds such as "诺言" (nuòyán, meaning "promise") and "许诺" (xǔnuò, meaning "to make a promise"), and it is also used in transliterations like "诺基亚" (Nuòjīyà) for the Nokia brand. This character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which covers characters used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, and its structure combines the speech radical "讠" (simplified form of 言, meaning "words") with the phonetic component "若" (ruò) to convey the idea of verbal assurance.
