U+5CA1 "岡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
岡
U+5CA1 "岡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji character used in Japanese and traditional Chinese writing, primarily meaning "hill," "mound," or "ridge," and is also a common component in place names and family names. In Japanese, it is read as "oka" in native readings and "kō" in Sino-Japanese compounds, and it appears frequently in words like "岡山" (Okayama), a prefecture and city in Japan. Its simplified Chinese counterpart is "冈," but this character retains the traditional form and carries the same core meaning of an elevated landform, reflecting its historical usage in classical texts and modern contexts for geographical features.
