U+8C22 "谢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
谢
U+8C22 "谢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to thank" or "to apologize," and it also carries the secondary meaning of "to wither" or "to fade," especially in the context of flowers. This character is composed of the radical "讠" (speech) on the left, indicating its connection to words or communication, and "射" (she) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and historical meaning. Beyond its literal usage, "谢" is commonly found in expressions of gratitude (like "谢谢" for "thank you") and in formal apologies, making it a fundamental component of everyday social interaction in Chinese culture.
