U+56F9 "囹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+56F9 "囹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, representing the concept of a prison or jail, though it is rarely used in modern isolation. Instead, it appears almost exclusively in the compound word "囹圄" (língyǔ), which is a classical term for a prison or dungeon, often encountered in literary or historical contexts rather than in everyday speech. The character itself is composed of the enclosure radical "囗" (wéi, meaning enclosure or surround) encapsulating the phonetic component "令" (lìng), which gives the character its pronunciation.
