U+4E20 "丠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
丠
U+4E20 "丠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character, historically considered a variant of the more common character 丘 (qiū), which means "mound" or "hill." Its composition consists of the radical for "one" (一) and the radical for "north" (北), visually combining these elements to convey the concept of a northern hill or high ground. In classical texts, it occasionally appears as an alternative form, but it is not used in modern standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing systems, making it primarily of interest in historical linguistics, paleography, or Unicode encoding for complete CJK coverage.
