U+9615 "阕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9615 "阕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional and simplified writing, primarily meaning "to end" or "to cease," and it often appears in literary contexts to denote the conclusion of a piece of music, a poem, or a section of a narrative. This character is composed of the radical "门" (gate/door) as a simplified form, with a phonetic component "癸" indicating its pronunciation as "què" in Mandarin. Historically, "阕" frequently describes the completion of a movement in classical Chinese poetry or the finishing of a song, conveying a sense of closure or finality. In modern usage, it remains a relatively formal term, found in classical texts, historical literature, or ceremonial language, and it is occasionally employed in names or artistic expressions to evoke a classical, refined aura.
