U+9639 "阹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

阹

U+9639 "阹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in classical or literary contexts, meaning "to surround" or "to enclose," often referring to the act of encircling a game animal or setting up a hunting trap. Its structure combines the radical 阝 (left, representing a mound or hill) with the phonetic component 去 (qù, meaning "to go" or "depart"), and it appears in texts related to ancient hunting, land barriers, or metaphorical enclosure. While not common in modern standard Mandarin usage, it retains significance in historical and archaeological studies of Chinese characters, particularly in works like the Shuowen Jiezi dictionary.
