U+7856 "硖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
硖
U+7856 "硖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a narrow gorge or a stone gap, often used in geographical names and classical literature. Composed of the radical for stone (石) and the phonetic component 夹, it conveys the idea of a rocky crevice or a small, steep valley. In modern usage, it appears in place names like "硖石" (Xiashi), a location in Zhejiang, and retains its classical association with rugged, confined terrain. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a logogram used in both traditional and simplified Chinese contexts, though it is not among the most common characters in everyday language.
