U+9698 "隘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
隘
U+9698 "隘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings of narrowness, a pass or defile, and strategic importance, often referring to a mountain pass or a narrow, perilous road. In classical and modern Chinese contexts, it is used in words like "狭隘" meaning narrow or confined, and "关隘" denoting a fortress or strategic mountain pass. The character is composed of the radical "阝" representing a hill or mound, combined with "益", which contributes to its phonetic and semantic nuances, reflecting both physical constriction and historical military significance in East Asian written culture.
