U+8BE0 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "to explain," "to comment on," or "to annotate," as well as referring to ultimate truth or reason in philosophical contexts. It is composed of the radical for speech or words on the left and the phonetic component 全 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "quán" in Mandarin. Historically, this character appears in classical texts such as the Zhuangzi, where it is used in the phrase "诠言" to denote thorough explanation or commentary. In modern usage, it is found in terms like 诠释 (quánshì), meaning "interpretation" or "explanation," and remains an important element in both literary and academic Chinese.
