U+5854 "塔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
塔
U+5854 "塔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a pagoda, tower, or stupa, commonly used in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its structure combines the earth radical "土" on the left, indicating something built from the ground, with the phonetic component "荅" on the right. Historically, the character was used to denote multi storied Buddhist reliquary structures introduced from India, but today it broadly refers to any tall, narrow building such as an observation tower or a communications tower, and it appears frequently in place names and cultural terms across the region.
