U+969C "障" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

障

U+969C "障" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "obstacle," "impediment," or "to block," and it is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Its radical is 阜 (阝 on the left), which relates to mounds or elevations, reflecting its historical association with geographical barriers, while its structure combines the phonetic element 章 with the semantic radical to convey the idea of something that hinders progress. In modern usage, it appears in words like 障碍 (zhàng'ài, meaning "obstacle") and 保障 (bǎozhàng, meaning "to guarantee" or "to protect," suggesting the removal or prevention of hindrances), and it is also a key component in compounds related to barriers in both physical and abstract contexts.
