U+2FA9 "⾩" Kangxi Radical Mound Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⾩
U+2FA9 "⾩" Kangxi Radical Mound is the graphic representation of the 170th radical in the Kangxi dictionary, traditionally known as "mound" or "hill." This radical is derived from the ancient Chinese character for a small hill or earth mound, and it often appears in traditional Chinese characters as a component to denote concepts related to earthen structures, hills, or embankments. In modern usage, this radical is rarely used as a standalone character but remains an essential building block in the composition of more complex Chinese characters, such as those meaning "to pile up" or "boundary."
