陗

It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block and is composed of the radical for "hill" or "mound" on the left side, combined with a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation. This character is historically attested in classical Chinese texts and remains in limited modern usage, particularly in literary or geographical contexts.
