U+65EF "旯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+65EF "旯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in compound words rather than standing alone in modern usage. Its most common application is in the word "旮旯" (gālá), a colloquial term meaning a corner, nook, or out-of-the-way place, often used in spoken Mandarin. Historically, the character is composed of the radical for sun or sunlight (日) combined with the element for nine (九), though its etymological roots and classical significance are less prominent compared to more frequently used Han characters. In contemporary texts, "旯" is rarely encountered outside of this specific dialectal or descriptive context, making it a specialized but recognizable glyph in the CJK unified ideograph set.
