Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+8AC2 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is also used in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, primarily meaning "flatter," "adulate," or "ingratiate." Composed of the radical for "speech" (言) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, its traditional form conveys the idea of insincere or excessive praise meant to curry favor. In modern contexts, it appears in literary works, classical texts, or historical references to describe sycophantic behavior, though it is not commonly used in everyday conversation. The character reflects the nuanced moral and social critiques embedded in East Asian written traditions.
