U+5777 "坷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+5777 "坷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in East Asian writing systems, particularly in Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. It represents a topographical term often associated with uneven or rugged terrain, such as a bump or mound in the earth, and is commonly seen in the classical compound "坎坷" (kǎnkě), which metaphorically describes a difficult or rough journey in life. The character consists of the radical 土 (earth, mound) on the left, indicating its connection to land or ground, and the phonetic component 可 (kě) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In modern usage, "坷" is relatively rare as a standalone character and is most frequently encountered in literary or formal contexts to convey hardship or unevenness.
