Source: Browser Default
U+8B21 "謡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is also used in Japanese as a kanji. Its primary meaning relates to "song," "chant," or "ballad," and it is often found in compound words like "民謡" (min'yō, meaning folk song) or "歌謡" (kayō, meaning song or ballad). The character combines the "言" (speech/words) radical on the left with the phonetic component "䍃" (yáo) on the right, and it appears in historical texts and classical poetry, as well as modern contexts such as music and performance traditions, particularly in Japanese Noh theater where "謡" refers to the chanting of texts.
