U+8CC4 "賄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

賄

U+8CC4 "賄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where it primarily denotes the concept of bribery or offering gifts to gain improper influence. In Chinese, it is pronounced "huì" and appears in words like 賄賂 (bribe), whereas in Japanese it has the on'yomi readings "kai" and "e" and the kun'yomi "maganau," retaining a similar meaning related to corruption or contraband dealings. This ideograph is composed of the radical 貝 (shell, representing wealth or money) and the phonetic component 有 (to have, exist), reflecting its etymological association with material exchange or illicit transactions. Historically, the character evolved from ancient bronze inscriptions and is classified under the Kangxi radical 154 (貝), consistently carrying negative connotations of dishonesty across East Asian cultural contexts.
