U+620D "戍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
戍
U+620D "戍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to guard" or "to defend," often associated with military garrison duty or frontier protection. In classical and modern Chinese, it refers to soldiers stationed at a border post or the act of performing garrison service, and it also appears in historical texts and compound words related to defense and watchkeeping. Its structure combines the radical for "person" or "body" with a component indicating a weapon or action, reflecting its martial connotation. This character is distinct from the visually similar but unrelated characters "戌" (xū, the 11th earthly branch) and "戊" (wù, the 5th heavenly stem).
