U+8BB7 "讷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8BB7 "讷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to be slow of speech, hesitant, or inarticulate, often implying a person who is not glib or who speaks with deliberate carefulness. It is composed of the radical 讠 (speech) on the left and the phonetic component 内 (nei) on the right, reflecting its pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese as nè. This ideograph can also convey a sense of being blunt or sincere without polished expression. In classical Chinese texts, it appears in philosophical contexts such as Confucian teachings, where being "讷于言" (slow in speech) is associated with virtue and a focus on action over eloquence.
