U+538F "厏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

厏

U+538F "厏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that corresponds to the traditional Kanji and Hanzi used in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems, though it is considered rare and nonstandard in modern usage. Its primary meanings include "narrow" or "confined space," often referring to a cramped or tight area, and in some contexts it can denote a "cave" or "stone chamber." The character is composed of the radical "厂" (cliff or shelter) on the left or top, combined with components that suggest a sense of constriction, reflecting its semantic roots in physical enclosure. Due to its uncommon status, it is seldom encountered in contemporary texts, appearing mainly in classical literature or specialized dictionaries.
