U+964B "陋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

陋

U+964B "陋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to narrowness, shabbiness, or roughness, both physically and in abstract senses such as ignorance or vulgarity. It is composed of the radical 阝 (meaning "mound" or "hill") on the left, which hints at a physical barrier or enclosure, and the phonetic component ㇣ on the right, though the character's pronunciation "lòu" is consistent across Mandarin usage. Common in Classical and modern Chinese texts, it appears in words like "简陋" (jis, meaning "simple and crude") and "粗陋" (meaning "coarse and ugly"), often describing humble structures, unsophisticated manners, or limited knowledge. This character has been used for centuries in literature and official documents, reflecting its role in conveying notions of inadequacy or lack of refinement.
