U+5833 "堳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5833 "堳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily denotes a "bank" or "dike," specifically referring to an embankment or a raised pathway built to contain water or serve as a boundary. It is composed of the radical 土 (earth or soil) on the left, suggesting its association with land and construction, and the phonetic component 眉 (méi) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. Historically, this character appears in classical texts and remains in modern usage, particularly in geographical or technical contexts related to irrigation, flood control, or land management. Its structure and meaning reflect the practical engineering of ancient Chinese civilization, where such earthen structures were vital for agriculture and settlement.
