U+9EF7 "黷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
黷
U+9EF7 "黷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to defile," "to dishonor," or "to blacken," often carrying connotations of moral corruption or besmirching someone's reputation. It is composed of the radical 黑 (black, dark) and the phonetic component 贖, reflecting its semantic link to darkness or taint. This character is used in classical and literary Chinese texts, but it is relatively uncommon in modern everyday usage, where simplified forms like 黩 are often preferred. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is "dú" (second tone), and it appears in historical records and formal writing to describe acts of debasement or profanity.
