U+570D "圍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
圍
U+570D "圍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "to surround," "enclose," or "encircle," often used in contexts of defense or containment. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "enclosure" or "box" on the outside, indicating a boundary, with inner components that suggest a sense of being wrapped or encircled, reflecting its semantic field of encircling an area or entity. In modern usage, it appears in words like "包圍" (baowei) meaning "to surround" in Chinese and "囲む" (kakomu) meaning "to encircle" in Japanese, and it also functions as a simplified variant in some systems, while its structure conveys a visual and conceptual notion of circular protection or confinement.
