郤
U+90E4 "郤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally functions as a surname, though it also appears in classical texts with meanings related to a crack, crevice, or opening, often extended metaphorically to denote a gap, weak point, or opportunity for discord. Historically, it is associated with the ancient State of Xi in Chinese history and is sometimes used interchangeably with the character "郄" in various contexts.
