U+5C99 "岙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
岙
U+5C99 "岙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character pronounced "ào" in Mandarin, primarily used to denote a small, sheltered bay or a narrow, low-lying area of land between hills or mountains, often referencing a secluded cove or inlet. Its structure combines the radical 山 (mountain) with a phonetic component suggesting a cramped or narrow space, emphasizing a geographical feature where terrain constricts into a protected hollow. This character appears in classical texts and regional place names, particularly in coastal or mountainous regions of China, where it describes specific landscape forms that are both isolated and intimately connected to local geography.
