U+885A "衚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

衚

U+885A "衚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character classified under the radical for "walk" or "go" (行), though it is most commonly used as a phonetic component in place names and historical terms. Specifically, it appears in the word "衚衕" (hútòng), which refers to the narrow alleys or lanes characteristic of traditional Beijing neighborhoods, a term that originated during the Yuan Dynasty and reflects Mongol linguistic influence. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, this character represents a stylized combination of elements that convey both a phonetic sound and a nuanced association with urban passageways, though its standalone usage in modern texts is almost entirely limited to this compound word.
