Unicode Version 17.0
坂
U+5742 "坂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "slope" or "hillside" and is used in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems, where it often appears in place names and surnames. In Japanese, it is a common element in geographic terms like "saka" (slope) and is frequently found in names of streets, districts, or people, such as the famous historical figure Sakamoto Ryoma. The character is composed of the radical for "earth" or "ground" on the left and the phonetic component "反" on the right, reflecting its meaning as an inclined surface of land. Its usage spans classical texts and modern contexts, making it a practical and visually straightforward ideograph for describing terrain.
