U+90C8 "郈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

郈

U+90C8 "郈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used as a historical surname, but it also appears in classical place names and personal names. Its composition combines the radical for "city" or "town" (阝 on the right) with the phonetic component 后 on the left, and it is pronounced "hòu" in Mandarin. In ancient texts, it is notably associated with a fiefdom in the state of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period, as well as with figures such as Shusun Hou, a noble mentioned in the Zuo Zhuan. The character is infrequent in modern usage but retains relevance in historical and genealogical contexts.
