U+9661 "陡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
陡
U+9661 "陡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese logograph that primarily conveys the meaning of "steep" or "abrupt," often used to describe terrain or slopes that rise or fall sharply. It can also function as an adverb meaning "suddenly" in certain contexts, such as in the term "陡峭" (dǒuqiào) for a precipitous cliff. Composed of the radical for a mound or hill (阝) and the phonetic component "走" (zǒu, meaning to walk), the character visually and etymologically suggests a path that becomes sharply inclined, reflecting its usage in both physical and metaphorical descriptions of change or difficulty.
