U+7A79 "穹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
穹
U+7A79 "穹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily signifies a concave or vaulted shape, such as an arch, dome, or the vast expanse of the sky, often appearing in classical literary contexts to describe the heavens or a celestial canopy. It is composed of the radical for "cave" or "hole" (穴) atop the phonetic component "gōng" (弓), which originally depicted a bow, with the overall structure suggesting a hollow or curved form. This character is found in traditional compounds like "穹蒼" (qióngcāng) meaning "the firmament" or "the blue dome of heaven," and it carries connotations of grandeur, boundlessness, or an overarching, sheltering quality in both ancient texts and modern usage.
