U+6A2A "横" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

横

U+6A2A "横" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "horizontal," "across," or "sideways," and it is used extensively in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block. In Japanese, it appears in the word "yokohama" and in compounds like "横向き" (yokomuki) meaning "sideways direction," while in Chinese it is a common component in terms such as "横线" (héng xiàn) for "horizontal line" and "横跨" (héng kuà) for "spanning across." The character is composed of the "wood" radical on the left and the phonetic element on the right, reflecting its historical construction as a logograph representing the concept of lying crosswise or being opposed to vertical orientation.
