U+5870 "塰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
塰
U+5870 "塰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a highly uncommon Chinese character, primarily used in the Cantonese dialect as a term meaning "a low, flat coastal area" or "mudflat," often specifically referring to land reclaimed from the sea or tidal flats for cultivation or habitation. This character is constructed with the radical for "earth" or "soil" (土) on the left side, indicating its connection to land, while the right side is a phonetic component derived from the character for "sea" (海). Due to its specialized regional usage and rarity in modern standard Mandarin, this ideograph is seldom encountered in general Chinese texts, appearing mostly in historical or local Cantonese contexts related to geography and coastal farming.
