U+579B "垛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

垛

U+579B "垛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means a "pile," "stack," or "mound," often used to refer to heaps of grain, hay, or other materials, as well as to battlement-like structures on city walls or towers. It is composed of the radical "土" (earth or soil) on the left and the phonetic component "朵" (meaning a clump or flower) on the right, reflecting its semantic connection to earthworks or accumulated objects. This character appears in classical texts and modern Chinese, functioning both as a noun for a physical accumulation and as a verb meaning to pile up or stack things. Its inclusion in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block underscores its shared usage across these languages, though its pronunciation and specific connotations may vary slightly between them.
