U+62E6 "拦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+62E6 "拦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to block," "to obstruct," or "to hold back," and is commonly used in modern Mandarin Chinese. It is composed of a left-hand radical for "hand" or action, 扌, and a right-hand component 兰 (lán), which contributes both phonetic and semantic hints related to a barrier or fence. This character appears in everyday contexts such as traffic barriers (拦路 lán lù meaning "to block the road"), intercepting someone (拦住 lán zhù), or sports like volleyball where 拦网 (lán wǎng) describes blocking a spike at the net. With its history rooted in ancient Chinese script, where it originally depicted a barricade or gate, this ideograph remains a functional and frequently used element in written Chinese.
