U+659C "斜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
斜
U+659C "斜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "slanting," "oblique," or "diagonal," and it is commonly used in both modern and classical Chinese texts. Its radical is 斗 (斗, meaning "dipper" or "cup") and it typically consists of 11 strokes, though its structure can vary slightly across different regional scripts such as Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Often encountered in words like "斜面" (sloping surface) or "斜線" (diagonal line), this character conveys the concept of deviation from a straight or upright orientation, making it essential for describing angles, slopes, or indirect directions in written East Asian languages.
