U+8C25 "谥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8C25 "谥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in East Asian languages, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts. It represents the concept of a posthumous title or honorific name, typically granted to a deceased person of high status, such as an emperor, noble, or esteemed scholar, as a means of summarizing their life achievements or character. In traditional Chinese culture, the bestowal of such a title was a formal ritual, and the character itself combines the radical for speech or words, 讠, with the phonetic component 益, reflecting its association with spoken or recorded commendation after death. This character is also known in simplified Chinese as the standard form, while its traditional counterpart is 諡.
