U+96A0 "隠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

隠

U+96A0 "隠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese kanji, where it is commonly read as "kakusu" or "kakureru" and generally means "to hide," "to conceal," or "to be secret." This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block and is constructed with the radical for "mound" or "hill" (阝) on the left, combined with components on the right that contribute to its phonetic and semantic sense of something being obscured or withdrawn from view. In traditional Chinese, the equivalent character is often written as 隱, and in simplified Chinese as 隐, while the Japanese form 隠 is used in modern standard kanji. Its usage spans contexts from everyday vocabulary about hiding objects or emotions to classical literary references involving seclusion or privacy.
