U+5896 "墖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
墖
U+5896 "墖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that represents a pagoda or a Buddhist stupa, functioning as a variant form of the more common character "塔". Composed of the radical "土" meaning earth or ground, combined with a phonetic component, this ideograph historically appears in classical texts and specialized contexts to denote a tiered tower structure used for religious relics. Its usage is largely obsolete in modern standard Chinese, though it retains significance in historical documentation and calligraphy where variant character forms are studied.
