U+967E "陾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+967E "陾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character primarily found in classical texts, where its phonetic component suggests an Old Chinese pronunciation reconstructed as *njɯŋ or similar. Its structure combines the radical 阝 (meaning "mound" or "city") with the phonetic element 乃, though its precise meaning is obscure and varies among historical dictionaries; in the Shuowen Jiezi, it is glossed as "the sound of a building" or "to build with tamping," referencing the noise of ramming earth for construction. Due to its infrequent use in modern standard Chinese, it is not found in common vocabulary but occasionally appears in specialized philological contexts or historical place names.
