Source: Browser Default
U+5879 "塹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a "moat" or "ditch," often used in the context of a defensive trench or a natural ravine, and by extension conveys the idea of a barrier or obstruction. In classical and modern usage, it appears in compound words like "塹壕" (moat or trench), referencing fortifications, and can also metaphorically suggest an insurmountable divide or a pitfall. The character is composed of the radical 土 (earth) on the left, indicating its connection to terrain or ground, and the phonetic component 斬 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation.
