U+8B9C "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily signifies speaking openly, frankly, or giving honest advice, often in the context of upright or courageous speech. It is composed of the radical 言 (speech) on the left and the phonetic component 黨 on the right, which also contributes to its meaning of a group or party, though the combined character emphasizes forthright expression rather than organizational affiliation. This character is used in classical and literary Chinese texts to describe virtuous, outspoken counsel, and its simplified form is 谠 (U+8C20). While not common in modern everyday writing, it appears in historical documents, philosophical works, and as a component in certain formal or poetic contexts.
