U+57ED "埭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
埭
U+57ED "埭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to a dam, dike, or a raised pathway used to control water flow, particularly in rice paddies or irrigation systems. It is composed of the earth radical (土) on the left, indicating its connection to soil or construction, and a phonetic component on the right. This character appears in classical and some modern contexts, especially in place names across China and Taiwan, where it denotes locations built near such embankments. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is encoded for use in East Asian text processing and digital communication.
