About
谰 (traditional: 讕) is a verb or noun meaning to slander or make false accusations to defame someone. It combines the speech radical 讠 (言) on the left, indicating a verbal act, with the phonetic component 阑 (闌) on the right, which provides the pronunciation. The character typically appears in legal or formal writing to condemn perjury, baseless charges, and the deliberate distortion of truth to damage another's reputation.
