Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+57AE "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to collapse" or "to fall down," often used in contexts like structural failure, such as a building crumbling. It is composed of the radical "土" (earth) on the left, suggesting matter or ground, and the phonetic component "夸" (kuā) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation kuǎ. In modern usage, the character also appears metaphorically to describe systems, organizations, or conditions that break down or fail, and it is a standard element in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) shared character set.
