U+57E1 "埡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

埡

U+57E1 "埡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to a geographical feature, specifically a narrow pass or a defile between mountains, and is often used in place names. This character combines the radical for earth or mound (土) on the left, suggesting a connection to landforms, with a phonetic component that contributes to its pronunciation, which is read as "yà" in Mandarin. It is classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, meaning it is intended for use across multiple East Asian languages that share historical roots in Chinese writing. While considered a rare or specialized character in modern everyday text, it remains important for the accurate representation of certain regional toponyms and ancient literature.
