U+58CD "壍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

壍

U+58CD "壍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji character that primarily means "moat" or "ditch," often referring to a defensive trench or a water-filled channel surrounding a city or fortress. This character is composed of the radical "土" (earth) on the left, indicating its association with earthen structures, and the phonetic component "漸" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In classical texts and historical contexts, "壍" is used in words related to fortifications, city defenses, or obstacles, and it is a less common variant of the simplified character "堑" in modern Chinese. The character is encoded in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block of Unicode, supporting its use across these East Asian writing systems.
