U+9607 "阇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9607 "阇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means a raised platform, gate tower, or the archway over a city gate, often used in classical texts to refer to defensive structures or ceremonial entrances. It is composed of the radical for "door" or "gate" (门) combined with the phonetic component "者" (zhe), and its modern usage in Chinese can also extend to Buddhist contexts, as in "阇梨" (a term for a monastic teacher). In Japanese, it is read as "to" or "za" and appears in place names and historical terms, while in Korean, it is read as "do" and retains similar architectural meanings. This character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode Standard, representing a shared element of East Asian written language.
