U+8C26 "谦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8C26 "谦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of modesty, humility, or being unassuming. It is composed of the radical "讠" (speech) on the left, suggesting its connection to language or expression, and the component "兼" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and nuance of combining or encompassing. This character is deeply rooted in Confucian philosophy, where humility is regarded as a core virtue, and it frequently appears in classical texts, modern Chinese vocabulary, and compound words such as "谦虚" (modest) and "谦让" (to politely yield). As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, it is used across multiple East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, albeit with slight variations in pronunciation and usage.
