U+57C5 "埅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+57C5 "埅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that, in the context of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, encodes a specific logogram used in East Asian writing systems. This character is composed of the radical 土 (earth, soil) and a phonetic component, and it has historically been used as a variant form of the character 防 (fang, meaning "to defend" or "to prevent") in classical Chinese texts, particularly in the sense of a raised earthwork or dike for flood control or military defense. While it is not a common character in modern standard Mandarin Chinese, it may occasionally appear in historical documents, place names, or specialized literature, where it retains this older, closely related meaning tied to embankments or protective barriers.
