U+5E7D "幽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

幽

U+5E7D "幽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "secluded," "hidden," "dim," or "deep," often conveying a sense of quiet obscurity or mysterious depth. It is composed of two radical elements: the lower part "山" meaning "mountain," and the upper part "幺" which represents something small or threadlike, together suggesting a remote or shadowy place within a mountain or landscape. Traditionally used in literary and poetic contexts, it can describe a private, tranquil retreat or an ethereal, ghostly atmosphere, as seen in terms like "幽静" (peaceful and secluded) or "幽靈" (phantom or spirit). The glyph's semantic construction reflects an ancient metaphorical understanding of enclosure and subtlety, making it a rich character in both classical and modern Chinese writing.
