U+5CE1 "峡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
峡
U+5CE1 "峡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "gorge" or "narrow pass" and is commonly used in geographical contexts to describe a deep, steep-sided valley, often formed by a river cutting through mountainous terrain. This ideograph is frequently seen in place names such as "三峡" (Three Gorges) in China, and it functions as a logogram in written Chinese, Japanese, and occasionally Korean, where it retains similar meanings across these languages. Its structure combines the radical "山" (mountain) on the left, indicating its association with landforms, and the phonetic component "夹" (jiā) on the right, which suggests its pronunciation in Mandarin.
