U+659B "斛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
斛
U+659B "斛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to a unit of dry volume measurement used in ancient China, equivalent to approximately 10 decaliters or 0.1 石, and it also denotes a type of measuring vessel or container. Beyond its literal meaning, the character is sometimes used in classical texts and personal names, appearing in the Kangxi Dictionary and recognized within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block as a shared traditional character. Its structure combines the radical 斗 (斗, a measure) with the phonetic component 角 (jiao, horn or angle), reflecting its functional and symbolic origins in traditional East Asian metrology and writing.
