U+5CA3 "岣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
岣
U+5CA3 "岣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character primarily used in historical or geographical names, most famously as part of the term "岣嵝" (Gǒulǒu), which refers to a mountain in Hunan province, China, often associated with the ancient "岣嵝碑" or Stele of Yu the Great, a legendary artifact said to commemorate flood control efforts. This character combines the radical for mountain on the left with the phonetic component 句 (jù/gōu) on the right, and while it is infrequently used in modern everyday Chinese, it holds significance in classical texts, epigraphy, and the study of ancient Chinese calligraphy and mythology.
