U+6239 "戹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
戹
U+6239 "戹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily signifies distress, adversity, or a narrow pass, often used in classical and literary contexts. Its radical is 戶 (door) with a component suggesting constraint or entrapment, evoking the concept of being pressed into a difficult situation. While historically it appears in phrases like "戹難" (disaster or hardship), it is considered a variant or archaic form of the more common character "厄" (e, meaning danger or difficulty). In modern usage, it is rare in standard Chinese writing, but it retains relevance in historical and scholarly texts for its specific nuance of dire straits or a tight, inescapable space.
