Unicode Version 17.0
塂
U+5842 "塂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that typically refers to a type of low-lying area or hollow land, often with the connotation of a small valley or depression in the terrain. It is composed of the radical "土" (earth) and the phonetic component "巷" (alley or lane), and its meaning is closely tied to geographical features. While not common in modern standard Chinese, it may appear in classical texts, place names, or specialized scholarly contexts where precise topographical description is needed.
