U+9586 "閆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
閆
U+9586 "閆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily as a surname, particularly common in Mandarin-speaking regions. Its structure combines the radical for "gate" or "door" (門) with the component for "a method" or "to follow" (引), though its meaning is not reflective of these parts in everyday usage, instead functioning almost exclusively as a family name. In traditional Chinese lists of common surnames, "閆" is often considered a variant of "閻" (Yan), though they are distinct characters with separate Unicode entries. This character is typically used in personal names and historical records rather than in general vocabulary, making it less frequent in modern writing outside of proper nouns.
