U+962A "阪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
阪
U+962A "阪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji in Japanese) that primarily means "slope," "hill," or "steep incline," often used in geographical names. It is notably the second character in the name of the Japanese city of Osaka (大阪), where its phonetic reading "saka" contributes to the city's name meaning "big slope." In Chinese, it is pronounced "ban" in Mandarin and carries similar connotations of a hillside or slope, though it is less common in everyday Chinese usage, appearing more frequently in classical or compound terms.
