U+78C8 "磈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
磈
U+78C8 "磈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that represents a type of stone or rocky mound, often specifically referring to a rough, uneven rock or a heap of stones. In classical Chinese texts, it appears in descriptive contexts for rugged terrain or rocky landscapes, particularly in geographical and poetic literature. The character is composed of the radical for stone (石) on the left, indicating its connection to rocks, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, which is typically read as "wěi" in Mandarin. While not commonly used in modern everyday writing, it retains significance in historical and literary studies of the Chinese language.
