U+8A03 "訃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+8A03 "訃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used primarily in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems, where it signifies the concept of reporting a death or announcing a funeral, often forming compounds like "訃報" (fuhō in Japanese, meaning obituary or death notice). This character is composed of radical "言" (speech) on the left, indicating a verbal or written communication, and "卜" (divination) on the right, which historically contributed to its meaning of predicting or announcing. In modern usage, "訃" is a formal and solemn character, appearing largely in written contexts such as newspaper obituaries, funeral notices, or commemorative announcements, and it holds cultural significance across East Asia as a respectful term for conveying death-related news.
