U+9663 "陣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
陣
U+9663 "陣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that generally denotes the concept of a battle formation, array, or military camp, with its radical "阝" (a variant of "阜" meaning mound or hill) suggesting a connection to terrain or defensive structures. In classical Chinese military texts, it specifically refers to the strategic arrangement of troops, while in modern contexts it is commonly used in words like "陣営" (camp or faction) and "陣痛" (labor pains), extending metaphorically to organized groups or periods of intense difficulty. This character is also used in Japanese and Korean, where it similarly signifies formations or groups in both literal and figurative senses.
