U+9650 "限" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
限
U+9650 "限" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character primarily meaning "limit," "boundary," "restriction," or "to confine." It is composed of the radical "阝" (left-hand variant of "阜," meaning a mound or terrain) on the left and the phonetic component "艮" (gèn, also meaning tough or blunt) on the right, indicating both sound and semantic resonance. This character is widely used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, appearing in words such as "限制" (xiànzhì, to restrict), "限度" (xiàndù, limit or degree), and "期限" (qīxiàn, time limit). Its structure reflects the concept of a physical or metaphorical boundary, making it a common element in legal, mathematical, and everyday contexts across East Asian languages.
