U+5DCD "巍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

巍

U+5DCD "巍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys a sense of towering height, loftiness, or majestic grandeur, often used to describe imposing mountains, structures, or figurative qualities of dignity and awe. In modern Mandarin Chinese, it is pronounced "wēi" and appears in compound words like 巍峨 (wēi'é), meaning "towering" or "lofty," and 巍然 (wēirán), meaning "majestically" or "toweringly." The character is formed with the radical for "mountain" (山) at the top, emphasizing its connection to elevation and grandeur, while the lower component contributes phonetic and semantic nuances related to height and nobility. Historically, it has been employed in classical literature and poetry to evoke images of sublime landscapes or venerable authority, and it remains in contemporary usage in formal or descriptive contexts.
