U+5C72 "屲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
屲
U+5C72 "屲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character primarily used in historical or dialectal contexts, often representing a variant of the character for "slope" or "mountain" with components suggesting a downward incline or a cliff. It is composed of the radical 山 (mountain) over 八 (eight), which together evoke the idea of a split or descending landform, and it appears in some classical texts or regional scripts as a phonetic or semantic borrowing. While not commonly used in modern simplified or traditional Chinese, it remains defined in the Unicode standard to support legacy and specialized documentation.
