U+65EE "旮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

旮

U+65EE "旮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents a corner or nook, often used in compounds to describe remote or out-of-the-way places. It is composed of the radical for "sun" or "day" (日) and a simplified form of "nine" (九), though its etymology is less straightforward than many common characters. In modern usage, it appears in words like "旮旯" (gālá), meaning a corner or recess, and is frequently employed in informal or dialectal Chinese to refer to small, hidden spaces. Despite its relatively niche application, it holds significance in the context of Chinese typography and computing as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block established in Unicode for consistent digital representation of East Asian scripts.
