U+583A "堺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
堺
U+583A "堺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in East Asian languages, particularly in Japanese and Chinese, where it denotes a boundary or a border, often associated with a "world" or "realm" in a contextual sense. In Japanese, it is famously known as the kanji for the city of Sakai, a historically significant port and industrial hub in Osaka Prefecture, and it appears in compounds like "世界" (sekai, meaning world) as an alternative form of the character "界." Its structure combines the radical 土 (earth or ground) with a phonetic component, reflecting its literal meaning of a territorial limit or dividing line.
