U+9680 "隀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9680 "隀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character, classified under the radical for "mound" or "city" (阜, often simplified to 阝 on the left). Its modern usage is extremely limited, but it is historically documented with pronunciations like chóng in standard Mandarin, where it is defined in classical texts as a homophone for 重, meaning "heavy" or "layered," or alternatively as a term for a "mound" or "hill" in ancient geographical descriptions. This character appears infrequently in literary or historical contexts rather than in contemporary writing systems, making it primarily of interest to scholars of classical Chinese philology and historical orthography.
