Unicode Version 17.0
峨
U+5CE8 "峨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "lofty" or "towering," often used in the context of describing high mountains or majestic landscapes. It is most famously associated with Mount Emei (峨眉山), a sacred Buddhist mountain in Sichuan province, China, and is commonly found in classical poetry and geographic names. The character combines the radical for mountain (山) with the phonetic component 我, reflecting both its meaning related to height and its pronunciation in Mandarin as "é." In modern usage, it appears in proper nouns and literary references, maintaining its evocative sense of grandeur and elevation.
