U+588C "墌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

墌

U+588C "墌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a relatively rare Chinese character that historically refers to a type of foundation or base, often associated with building or leveling ground, and appears in classical texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi" where it denotes a mound or the process of tamping earth. Its structure combines the radical 土 (earth, soil) with the phonetic component 石 (stone), reflecting its connection to construction or earthen works. In modern usage, this character is largely obsolete and not commonly found in contemporary Chinese writing, though it remains encoded in Unicode for historical and scholarly purposes, including the representation of ancient documents and specialized lexicography.
