U+96B3 "隳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
隳
U+96B3 "隳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that conveys the meaning of destroying, ruining, or demolishing, often in a figurative or architectural sense. Its semantic radical is "阜" (mound or hill), and its phonetic component is "隓" or "墮" as simplified variants, though "隳" remains a distinct traditional form. Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts, such as in philosophical or historical writings, to describe the collapse of cities, walls, or institutions, as seen in phrases like "隳名城" (destroy famous cities). While not commonly used in modern Mandarin, the character is preserved in certain literary and academic contexts, representing a nuanced concept of ruination.
