U+56F4 "围" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+56F4 "围" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to surround," "to enclose," or "to encircle," and by extension refers to a circumference or an enclosure. It is composed of the radical 囗 (wéi), which signifies an enclosure or boundary, wrapped around the phonetic component 韦 (wéi), which originally depicted feet around an area, though in modern usage it primarily contributes to pronunciation. This character appears in various common words such as 围绕 (wéirào, "to revolve around" or "to encircle") and 围棋 (wéiqí, "Go" the board game, literally "encircling chess"). As a part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, it maintains consistent meaning and usage across multiple East Asian languages, including in traditional and simplified Chinese scripts.
