U+8FAD "辭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8FAD "辭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character that primarily means "words," "speech," "to take leave," or "to decline," and it is composed of the radical for "tongue" (舌) and the component for "bitter" or "acrid" (辛), reflecting its historical association with legal or formal proceedings, eloquence, and resignation. In traditional Chinese and Japanese usage, it appears in contexts such as literature, legal documents, and classical poetry, often conveying a sense of formal expression or farewell. Its simplified counterpart, "辞" (U+8F9E), is more common in modern simplified Chinese, whereas the traditional form U+8FAD retains cultural significance in regions like Taiwan and Hong Kong, as well as in Japanese kanji. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a shared heritage of East Asian writing systems.
