U+9596 "閖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
閖
U+9596 "閖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that combines the radical for "gate" or "door" (門) with the character for "water" (水), and its meaning is generally understood as the sound or image of water flowing through a gate or entrance. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese, though it occasionally appears in historical or literary contexts, and it is primarily of interest to scholars of ancient scripts or Unicode enthusiasts exploring obscure ideographs. Its structure reflects a compositional blend of semantic components, but no widely recognized standard pronunciation or modern usage exists for it.
