Cultural background

FAQ
  • 譶 is a rare character composed of three 言 (speech) components, visually representing extreme verbosity or rapid, overlapping speech.
  • It belongs to a category of characters where repetition of a component intensifies its meaning, similar to 森 (forest) from three 木 (trees) or 焱 (flame) from three 火 (fire).
  • Due to its rarity and specific meaning, it is almost never used in modern writing or personal names.
