U+7887 "碇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7887 "碇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "anchor" or "mooring stone," historically referring to a heavy stone used to secure a boat or ship in place. It is composed of the radical 石 (stone) on the left, indicating its material or object association, and the phonetic component 定 on the right, which also carries a hint of the meaning "to settle" or "to fix." In modern Chinese, this character is used in contexts related to maritime navigation, such as in terms like 碇泊 (dìngbó) for "anchoring" or "berthing," and is also found in Japanese as a kanji with similar meanings, particularly in nautical and industrial terminology. Its usage underscores the historical importance of stone anchors in East Asian seafaring before the widespread adoption of metal anchors.
