U+8C33 "谳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
谳
U+8C33 "谳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that has been simplified to "谳" in modern usage, primarily meaning to adjudicate, pass judgment, or render a verdict in a legal context, such as in the term "定谳" which refers to the final conclusion of a criminal case or the settling of a judicial sentence. This character is composed of the radical for "speech" on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its association with verbal or written pronouncements in formal legal proceedings. Its usage is therefore specialized, appearing in historical or legal texts rather than in everyday conversation, and it carries a formal, authoritative tone tied to the act of signifying a definitive legal outcome.
