U+56F0 "困" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
困
U+56F0 "困" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "difficult," "distressed," or "to be trapped," and it is visually composed of the radical for "tree" or "wood" (木) enclosed within a square frame (囗), which conceptually depicts a tree surrounded or constrained, symbolizing confinement or hardship. In Japanese, it is used as the kanji for "困る" (komaru), meaning "to be troubled" or "to have difficulty," while in Chinese it appears in words like "困难" (kùnnán, meaning "difficult" or "problem"). This character appears in the Unicode Standard under the CJK Unified Ideographs block, with its origins tracing back to classical Chinese texts where it conveyed states of distress or obstruction.
