U+5841 "塁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
塁
U+5841 "塁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant or simplified form of the character "壘" (lěi) in Japanese, where it denotes a base or fortification, such as in the context of a military stronghold or, most famously, the bases in baseball. In modern Japanese usage, it is most commonly associated with the sport, appearing in terms like "rui" (塁) meaning "base." The character itself is composed of radical elements related to earth and accumulation, reflecting its original meaning of piling up earth or building ramparts, though its everyday use has shifted heavily toward the baseball metaphor rather than military architecture.
