U+8C1C "谜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8C1C "谜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "riddle," "puzzle," or "mystery," and is frequently used in compound words such as "谜语" meaning riddle or "谜底" meaning the answer to a riddle. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode standard, which encodes characters for the shared written languages of East Asia. The character is composed of two radicals: the left side is the "言" (speech) radical, reflecting its connection to spoken or written language, and the right side is "迷" (to be lost or confused), which together convey the concept of something that confuses or obscures understanding, requiring mental effort to solve. In modern usage, "谜" not only denotes literal riddles but also appears in metaphorical contexts, such as describing enigmatic situations or unsolved problems.
