U+5CED "峭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
峭
U+5CED "峭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "steep," "precipitous," or "sheer," often used to describe high, rugged cliffs or mountain slopes, as well as metaphorically to denote a sharp or severe demeanor. In modern Chinese, it appears in words like "陡峭" meaning "steep" and "峭壁" meaning "cliff." The character is composed of the radical "山" (mountain) on the left, indicating its connection to landscapes, and the phonetic component "肖" on the right, which suggests its pronunciation as "qiào" in Mandarin. Its usage spans classical poetry and contemporary writing, evoking images of dramatic natural formations or unyielding attitudes.
