U+5812 "堒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5812 "堒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily functions as a variant or less common form of the character "坤" (kūn), which traditionally represents the earth, the female or receptive principle, or one of the Eight Trigrams in I Ching philosophy. In classical and literary contexts, 堒 carries the same core meaning related to the earth or the concept of the feminine, yin force, though it is not as widely used in modern standard Chinese as its more common counterpart. Its structure combines the earth radical 土 on the left with the phonetic component 昆, indicating both its semantic field and pronunciation in historical usage. As a CJK unified ideograph, it belongs to the East Asian script block and is occasionally encountered in ancient texts, personal names, or specialized writings.
