U+789E "碞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
碞
U+789E "碞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "cave" or "grotto" and is composed of the radical for stone (石) combined with the phonetic component 山 (mountain), reflecting its ancient association with rocky dwellings or cliffs. It is a rarely used character in modern Chinese, but it appears in classical texts and historical contexts, such as in the name of the legendary King Jie of Xia, where it sometimes appears as part of a compound meaning "to be cautious" or "to abide carefully," derived from its extended sense of a safe retreat in the mountains. In Japanese, it is not part of the standard jōyō kanji list and is primarily encountered in specialized or scholarly references.
