U+90CA "郊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
郊
U+90CA "郊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally signifies "suburbs," "outskirts," or the area just outside a city wall. Composed of the radical 阝 (meaning "city" or "town") on the right and 交 (meaning "to cross" or "to intersect") on the left, it visually and etymologically suggests a place at the intersection of urban and rural zones. In classical Chinese texts, this character often appears in contexts describing suburban landscapes, hunting grounds, or sacrificial rites held beyond the city gates, reflecting its enduring association with the boundary between settled civilization and the wild periphery.
