Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8A87 "誇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese hanzi, also used in Japanese and Korean, that primarily conveys the meanings of "boast," "exaggerate," or "praise." Composed of the radical 言 (speech) on the left and 夸 (meaning "to boast" or "exaggerate") on the right, its structure reinforces the concept of expressing excessive self-praise or overstatement. In modern usage, it appears in words like 誇張 (exaggeration) in Chinese and 誇り (pride) in Japanese, where it can carry either a negative connotation of boasting or a positive one of justifiable pride. This character reflects the nuanced role of language in expressing both honor and vanity across East Asian cultures.
