U+958F "閏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
閏
U+958F "閏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "intercalary" or "leap," as in the concept of an extra day or month added to the calendar to synchronize it with the solar year. It is composed of the radical for "gate" or "door" (門) surrounding the character for "king" (王), often interpreted as representing the insertion of a ruler into a cycle or a gate opening to allow a seasonal adjustment. This ideograph is used in East Asian cultures, particularly in contexts related to the lunar calendar, where a "leap month" (閏月) is inserted approximately every three years. Its usage extends to terms like "leap year" (閏年) and appears in historical and astronomical texts discussing calendrical reckoning.
