厄
U+5384 "厄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that commonly denotes misfortune, adversity, or a critical juncture, often carrying the meaning of "calamity" or "disaster" in its primary usage. It is composed of the radical for "cliff" or "danger" combined with elements suggesting a restricted or trapped situation, reinforcing its association with difficulty or peril. In classical Chinese texts, "厄" appears in contexts describing hardships or strategic choke points, and it remains relevant in modern Chinese vocabulary within words like "厄运" (misfortune) and "困厄" (distress). The character is also used in Japanese Kanji with similar connotations of hardship or fate.
