U+960A "阊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+960A "阊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that originally refers to the mythical gate of heaven, often associated with the entrance to the celestial realm or a palace gate in ancient Chinese cosmology and literature. In classical texts, it appears in compound terms like "阊阖" (chang he) to denote the heavenly gate or the main gate of an imperial palace, symbolizing authority and divine order. Its modern usage is rare, primarily confined to historical or poetic contexts, and it is composed of the radical for "gate" (门) and the phonetic component "昌" (chang), which suggests its pronunciation.
