U+5DC9 "巉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
巉
U+5DC9 "巉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "craggy" or "rugged," often used to describe steep, jagged mountain cliffs or rocky terrain. This ideograph belongs to the Kangxi Radical for "mountain" (山) and is composed of additional strokes that evoke a sense of sharpness and irregularity. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese literature and poetry to vividly depict harsh, formidable landscapes, carrying a connotation of both natural grandeur and perilous beauty. In modern usage, it remains a relatively uncommon character, found mainly in formal or literary contexts rather than everyday conversation.
