U+5DAE "嶮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

嶮

U+5DAE "嶮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily carries the meaning of "dangerous," "precipitous," or "steep," often used to describe treacherous mountain terrain or perilous circumstances. In classical and modern Chinese, it can function as an adjective or noun, appearing in compound words like "險峻" (xiǎnjùn, meaning steep and dangerous) and is also found in Japanese kanji with similar usage. The character itself combines the radical 山 (meaning mountain) with the phonetic component 僉 (qiān), reflecting its semantic association with rugged landscapes and its pronunciation in Mandarin as xiǎn. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block, ensuring consistent representation across these East Asian writing systems.
