U+8C02 "谂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8C02 "谂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional and simplified scripts, primarily meaning "to know" or "to be acquainted with," and it can also convey the sense of "to inform" or "to tell" in certain classical contexts. This character belongs to the Han ideograph block in Unicode and is composed of two radicals: the speech radical "讠" on the left, indicating its connection to language or communication, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation, which is typically read as "shěn" in Mandarin. Historically, it appears in ancient Chinese texts, often in literary or formal writings, though its usage in modern everyday language is relatively rare, making it more common in specialized or historical references.
