U+9690 "隐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
隐
U+9690 "隐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "hidden," "concealed," or "secret," and it is commonly used in both modern and classical Chinese texts. This ideograph is composed of two main components: the radical on the left, which is the "阝" (a variant of "阜" meaning "mound" or "bank"), and the right side "㥯," which contributes the phonetic and semantic notion of obscurity or withdrawal. In everyday usage, "隐" appears in words such as "隐藏" (yǐncáng, to hide) and "隐私" (yǐnsī, privacy), reflecting its core sense of something not openly visible or known. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it is encoded for digital representation across East Asian scripts.
