U+5737 "圷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
圷
U+5737 "圷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character composed of the earth radical 土 over 下, meaning "below" or "down," and is primarily used in Japanese as a surname or place name, such as in the name "Akutsu." This character does not have a widely known standardized meaning in mainstream Mandarin Chinese, where it is considered obscure, but in Japanese it can connote "low ground" or "land beneath," reflecting its literal composition of earth under something. Its usage is limited to specific cultural or historical contexts, and it appears in CJK character sets designed to support East Asian typography, though it is not part of common vocabulary in either language.
