What 譠 means
In 譠謾, it points to deceptive speech.
The earliest known attestation is in the Western Han Fangyan, a text that records regional vocabulary. Its phrase 譠謾 labels deceptive or boastful speech in regions south of Chu and Ying and around Dongyang.
That makes the surrounding passage essential: 譠 is documented in a regional expression, not as an everyday standalone word.
Why is 譠 linked with 詚 and 誕?
Their connection is historical, not just visual.
A study of ancient Chinese writing links 譠 to 詚, found in Warring States Chu bamboo slips, and to 誕 through sound and meaning. It treats 詚 and 譠 as possible earlier and later, or variant, writings; their exact chronology is unsettled.
After Fangyan, later dictionary glosses add slow or relaxed; 冷譠 is glossed as not caring.
Someone sent me 譠—what should I do?
A bare send does not identify the intended sense.
Its documented readings come from historical phrases and dictionary glosses. Ask for the sentence or source; that context can tell you which sense the sender means.
Historical and dialectal, chiefly encountered in regional expressions and dictionary glosses; unusual in everyday chat.
Without context, readers cannot tell which historical sense you mean.

The selected font may lack the glyph. The Droid Sans Japanese coverage chart lists no 譠, while a Noto CJK font can render it; try a different CJK font.
How is 譠 pronounced?
References disagree. One records Mandarin Pinyin tán, roughly “tahn” with a rising tone; Taiwan's variant dictionary gives zhān, roughly “jahn” with a level tone. Follow the reading tied to your source or input method.
