U+587B "塻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+587B "塻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in proper nouns and classical texts, referring to a specific type of place name or geographic feature, often associated with a mound or a heap of earth, though its precise meaning remains somewhat obscure in modern usage. It belongs to the radical for earth (土, tú) with a phonetic component suggesting its pronunciation, which is typically reconstructed as "mò" in Mandarin. This character appears in ancient inscriptions and dictionaries such as the Shuowen Jiezi, but it has largely fallen out of common everyday use except in specialized historical or literary contexts.
