U+5865 "塥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

塥

U+5865 "塥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese logogram belonging to the set of unified CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographs, primarily used in traditional Chinese contexts. This character, pronounced "gé" in Mandarin, generally refers to a type of obstruction or barrier, often associated with a sandy or hard-packed soil that impedes water flow or agricultural cultivation. It appears in classical and modern texts, typically describing geographical features or physical impediments, though it is not a common character in everyday modern writing. Its structure combines the radical 土 (tǔ, meaning "earth" or "soil") with the phonetic component 鬲 (lì, which originally denoted a tripod vessel), creating a meaning related to hardened earth or a dam-like blocking formation.
