U+5DF7 "巷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
巷
U+5DF7 "巷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "lane," "alley," or "narrow street," commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It originally depicted a road between buildings, combining the radical for "to go" or "walk" with a phonetic component suggesting a winding path or enclosed space. In compound words, "巷" appears in terms like "小巷" (small alley) and "巷战" (street fighting), reflecting its practical use in describing urban geography and warfare. In Chinese culture, the character carries connotations of both the intimacy of close-knit communities and the transience of hidden byways, often evoking a sense of traditional, lived-in neighborhoods.
