Unicode Version 17.0
阅
U+9605 "阅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "to read," "to review," or "to examine," and it is frequently used in modern contexts for reading books, checking documents, or inspecting something closely. Its radical is the "gate" or "door" component (门), which suggests an entrance or passage, while the phonetic part (兑) contributes to its pronunciation of *yuè* in Mandarin. This character appears in common words like 阅读 (yuèdú, meaning "reading") and 阅览 (yuèlǎn, meaning "to browse or look over"), reflecting its core association with the act of engaging with written material.
