U+96B5 "隵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+96B5 "隵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical 170 (阜, meaning "mound" or "abundance") with an additional stroke count of 20, resulting in a total of 24 strokes. This character is historically used in Classical Chinese texts, where it generally denotes concepts related to narrowness, cramped spaces, or perilous geographical features such as a defile or a dangerous strategic pass. While it is not commonly employed in modern standard Chinese, it may appear in specialized literary or historical contexts, particularly when referencing ancient descriptions of treacherous terrain or fortifications. Its representation in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars and linguists can preserve and access this obscure but precise term from the vast repository of encoded East Asian scripts.
