U+8C2D "谭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8C2D "谭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a surname, such as the prominent figure Tan Sitong, a late Qing dynasty reformer, but also carries meanings related to conversation or discussion, often referring to "talk" or "chat" in classical contexts. It can be found in compound words like "谭话" (tánhuà) meaning dialogue, though it is less common in modern usage than its simplified counterpart "谭" which remains in use. The character is composed of the radical "讠" (speech) and the phonetic component "覃", reflecting its semantic link to verbal communication. In East Asian typography, it is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is encoded for use in digital text across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
