Unicode Version 17.0
賕
U+8CD5 "賕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, and it is pronounced as "qiú" in Mandarin. This character is composed of the radical "貝" (shell, representing wealth or money) on the left and "求" on the right, which also provides phonetic cues. Its primary meaning is "bribe" or "to accept a bribe," specifically referring to the act of offering money or gifts to corrupt someone, and it is most commonly found in classical and legal Chinese texts rather than in everyday modern language. The character is relatively rare but carries a strong negative connotation related to corruption and illicit transactions.
