U+961D "阝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
阝
U+961D "阝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a radical component in the Chinese writing system, frequently appearing as the left or right side of compound characters. When positioned on the left, it represents a simplified form of the radical for "mound" or "hill," known as "阜" (fù), and often relates to elevated terrain or geographical features. On the right side, it derives from the radical "邑" (yì), meaning "city" or "state," and is used in characters associated with place names or administrative divisions. This dual nature makes the "阝" symbol a common and essential element in many Chinese characters, though it is rarely used as a standalone character in modern Chinese.
