谓
U+8C13 "谓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning "to say," "to call," or "to refer to," and it also appears in classical and modern Chinese as a component of words like "所谓" (so-called) and "谓语" (predicate in grammar). It is composed of the radical 讠 (speech) on the left and the phonetic component 胃 (stomach) on the right, reflecting its formation as a phono-semantic compound. This character is widely used in both literary and conversational contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it denotes acts of naming, addressing, or describing something.
