U+5CE9 "峩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+5CE9 "峩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically functions as a variant of the more common character 峨 (é), which means "lofty" or "towering," often used to describe majestic mountains like Mount Emei. Structurally, it combines the "mountain" radical (山) with the phonetic component 我 (wǒ, meaning "I" or "self"), conveying a sense of grandeur or steep height. This character appears in classical Chinese texts and poetry, but in modern standard Chinese usage, it has largely been supplanted by its simpler counterpart, making it a less common but historically significant glyph in the CJK Unified Ideographs block.
