U+5852 "塒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
塒
U+5852 "塒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character primarily used in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, where it conveys the meaning of a "roost" or "perch," specifically a place where birds or fowl settle to sleep at night. Its structure combines the earth radical 土 on the left with the phonetic component 時 on the right, reflecting both its semantic association with earthen or enclosed spaces and its sound in certain East Asian languages. This character appears in classical texts and poetry to denote a henhouse or a resting spot for birds, and it remains in use in modern contexts such as agricultural terminology or literary references to rural life.
