U+53E0 "叠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

叠

U+53E0 "叠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries the core meanings of "to pile up," "to layer," or "to repeat," often used in contexts involving stacking or folding objects, such as stacking plates or folding blankets. It is commonly found in Mandarin Chinese vocabulary and appears in terms like 叠加 (diéjiā, meaning "to superimpose" or "overlap") and 层叠 (céngdié, meaning "layered" or "stacked"). In its traditional form, the character is composed of three main components: the radical for "field" (田) at the top, signifying order or layers, and the lower parts that contribute to the idea of repetition, though the simplified version differs slightly in structure. This character is frequently employed in both literal and figurative language, such as in mathematics or computer science to describe overlapping data sets, and it holds cultural significance in concepts of accumulation and continuity.
