U+5C8C "岌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5C8C "岌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "lofty" or "precipitous," often describing a mountain or terrain that is steep and dangerously high. It is composed of the radical "山" (mountain) on the left, indicating its connection to geography, and the phonetic component "及" on the right, which also contributes the sense of "reaching" or "up to." In classical Chinese literature, it frequently appears in the compound "岌岌," which conveys a sense of extreme height and instability, as in the idiom "岌岌可危," meaning "in imminent danger" or "on the verge of collapse." This character is used in modern Chinese, Japanese (where it is a Jinmeiyō or name kanji), and Korean, though it is less common in everyday vocabulary and more prevalent in poetic or descriptive contexts.
