U+8C3C "谼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
谼
U+8C3C "谼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that historically refers to a deep valley or a large ravine, often used in classical texts to describe a spacious, hollow geographical feature. Its radical component is the "water" radical on the left, combined with the phonetic element "洪" meaning flood or vast, which together suggest a place shaped by water erosion that is wide and cavernous. While not commonly used in modern Chinese, this character appears in ancient literary works and dictionaries, where it conveys the imagery of a profound, open chasm in the landscape.
