Unicode Version 17.0
坎
U+574E "坎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily signifies a pit, hole, or depression in the ground, and it is also associated with the concept of a threshold or a critical point, particularly in the context of the I Ching where it represents the trigram for water and the hexagram for "the Abysmal." In modern usage, this character appears in words related to obstacles, difficulties, or uneven terrain, such as "坎坷" meaning rough or bumpy road, often metaphorically describing a life full of hardships. It is a common component in names, philosophical texts, and geographical terms, reflecting its deep roots in both ancient Chinese cosmology and everyday language.
