U+95A2 "関" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
関
U+95A2 "関" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji used primarily in Japanese and also found in some Chinese contexts, though simplified Chinese uses "关" instead. Its core meaning relates to a barrier, gate, or checkpoint, and it is also associated with the concept of "connection" or "relation" as seen in words like 関係 (kankei, meaning relationship) and 関心 (kanshin, meaning interest). The character combines the outer radical for "gate" (門) with the inside element, deriving from a historical form that suggested a barrier or bolt across an entryway. In Japanese, it also appears in place names and personal names, reflecting its long established usage in East Asian written language systems.
