U+58E4 "壤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
壤
U+58E4 "壤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "soil," "earth," or "cultivated land" and is often used in contexts related to agriculture, geography, and the natural world. It appears in words like "土壤" (tǔrǎng, meaning soil) and "接壤" (jiērǎng, meaning to border or adjoin). This character is composed of the radical 土 (tǔ, meaning earth) on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation "rǎng" in Mandarin. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is used in both traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems, as well as in Japanese and Korean Hanja, reflecting its enduring role in East Asian scripts for describing land and terrain.
