U+8BFF "诿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
诿
U+8BFF "诿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "to shirk," "to pass the buck," or "to make excuses." It is composed of the radical for "speech" or "words" (讠) on the left side, indicating its association with verbal expression, and the phonetic component "委" on the right, which itself means "to entrust" or "to shift responsibility." Commonly used in modern Chinese, it appears in phrases like "推诿" (tuī wěi), meaning to evade responsibility or blame, and "诿过" (wěi guò), meaning to shift fault onto others. This character thus encapsulates a concept of deflecting accountability through language, often with a negative connotation in both formal and colloquial contexts.
