U+963C "阼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
阼
U+963C "阼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to the eastern steps or stairway in a palace or temple, often associated with the position where the host or emperor would stand to receive guests during rituals in ancient China. It is composed of the radical ⻖ (meaning mound or hill) and the phonetic component 乍, and its usage appears in classical texts to denote the main steps leading to a hall, symbolizing authority or ceremonial precedence. In modern contexts, the character is rarely used in everyday language but remains part of historical and literary references.
