U+5DE0 "巠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

巠

U+5DE0 "巠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically means "underground watercourse" or "stream," and it also serves as a phonetic component in other characters. In modern usage, it is not commonly employed as a standalone word, but it appears as a radical or building block in more complex CJK characters, such as "經" (jīng, meaning "classic" or "to pass through") and "徑" (jìng, meaning "path" or "diameter"). Its structure combines the radical for "river" or "water" with additional strokes, reflecting its original association with flowing water beneath the earth's surface. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, this character is encoded for use in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, though it remains relatively obscure in everyday text.
